"Go your way, seducers, flatterers, idlers, those glib……" — Dominique Fernandez
"Go your way, seducers, flatterers, idlers, those glib of tongue and charlatans; I am not a seed that you can force to grow; my goal differs so from yours that I would be wasting my time in trying to explain where my inclination drives me."
