“The most excellent and divine counsel, the best and most profitable advertisement of all others, but the least practised, is to study and learn how to know ourselves.

—Pierre Charron (1541–1603)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
