Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough. - Charles Dudley Warner

We select and set aside as literature that which is original, the product of what we call genius.

In art and literature we require not only an expression of the facts in nature and in human life, but of feeling, thought, emotion. There must be an appeal to the universal in the race.

Few people can resist doing what is universally expected of them. This invisible pressure is more difficult to stand against than individual tyranny.
