| Max Beerbohmb: London, England, Aug 24, 1872 d: Rapallo, Italy, May 20, 1956 "The Incomparable Max" English. Critic. Author. Writings include essays; wrote novel Zuleika Dobson, 1911; volume of pictorial caricatures: Rossetti and His Circle, 1922.
Anything that is worth doing has been done frequently. Things hitherto undone should be given, I suspect, a wide berth. Humility is a virtue, and it is a virtue innate in guests. I was a modest, good-humored boy. It is Oxford that has made me insufferable. The dullard's envy of brilliant men is always assuaged by the suspicion that they will come to a bad end. To give an accurate and exhaustive account of that period would need a far less brilliant pen than mine. To say that a man is vain means merely that he is pleased with the effect he produces on other people. You cannot make a man by standing a sheep on its hind legs. But by standing a flock of sheep in that position you can make a crowd of men. |
