No language is rude that can boast polite writers.
Aubrey Beardsley
In the present age, alas! our pens are ravished by unlettered authors and unmannered critics, that make a havoc rather than a building, a wilderness rather than a garden. But, a lack! what boots it to drop tears upon the preterit?
Aubrey Beardsley
It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
