«One concept corrupts and confuses the others. I am not speaking of the Evil whose limited sphere is ethics; I am speaking of the infinite.»
«...the image of the Lord had been replaced by a mirror.»
«The flattery of posterity is not worth much more than contemporary flattery, which is worth nothing.»

One literature differs from another, either before or after it, not so much because of the text as for the manner in which it is read.»
