“There is no dunce like a mature dunce.”
“There is no greater stupidity or meanness than to take uniformity for an ideal.”
“There is no tyranny so hateful as a vulgar and anonymous tyranny. It is all-permeating, all-thwarting; it blasts every budding novelty and sprig of genius with its omnipresent and fierce stupidity. Such a headless people has the mind of a worm and the claws of a dragon.”
