We can be virtuous without knowing who in fact we are. The beings who are merely good are not Good Beings; they are just pillars of society. |
| Lady Capricorn, he understood, was still keeping open bed. |
| Like every man of sense and good feeling, I abominate work. |
| Little boys may be an intolerable nuisance; but when they are not there we regret them, we find ourselves homesick for their very intolerableness |
| Man approaches the unattainable truth through a succession of errors. |
