Clever people seem not to feel the natural pleasure of bewilderment, and are always answering questions when the chief relish of a life is to go on asking them. Every man ought to be inquisitive through every hour of his great adventure down to the day when he shall no longer cast a shadow in the sun. For if he dies without a question in his heart, what excuse is there for his continuance? My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me. One learns little more about a man from his feats of literary memory than from the feats of his alimentary canal. Persecution was at least a sign of personal interest. Tolerance is composed of nine parts of apathy to one of brotherly love. That is the consolation of a little mind; you have the fun of changing it without impeding the progress of mankind. Were it not for the presence of the unwashed and the half-educated, the formless, queer and incomplete, the unreasonable and absurd, the infinite shapes of the delightful human tadpole, the horizon would not wear so wide a grin. |
