... pure honesty is a doubtful quality it means often lack of imagination.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Praise and blame alike mean nothing. No, delightful as the pastime of measuring may be, it is the most futile of all occupations, and to submit to the decrees of the measurers the most servile of attitudes.
