But there is an unseemly exposure of the mind, as well as of the body. - William Hazlitt

When a thing ceases to be a subject of controversy, it ceases to be a subject of interest.

Pure good soon grows insipid, wants variety and spirit. Pain is a bittersweet, which never surfeits. Love turns, with a little indulgence, to indifference or disgust. Hatred alone is immortal.

Persons without education certainly do not want [lack] either acuteness or strength of mind in what concerns themselves, or in things immediately within their observation; but they have no power of abstraction — they see their objects always near, never in the horizon.
