| No common-place is ever effectually got rid of, except by essentially emptying one’s self of it into a book; for once trapped in a book, then the book can be put into the fire, and all will be well. But they are not always put into the fire; and this accounts for the vast majority of miserable books over those of positive merit. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Pierre (1852), bk. XVIII, The Writings of Herman Melville, vol. 7, eds. Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker, and G. Thomas Tanselle (1971). ~ |

| Chapter 4 : the two types of men 01 As to the heated man in the temple, 02 he is like a tree growing {indoors}, (only) 03 a moment lasts its growth of {shoots}, (and) 04 its end comes about in the {woodshed}, (or) 05 it is floated far from its place, 06 the flame is its burial shroud. 07 The truly silent, who keeps apart, 08 he is like a tree grown in a meadow. 09 it greens, it doubles its yield, 10 it stands in front of its Lord, 11 its fruit is sweet, its shade delightful, 12 its end is reached in the garden. |

| "When we were little," the Mock Turtle went on at last, more calmly, though still sobbing a little now and then, "we went to school in the sea. The master was an old Turtle---we used to call him Tortoise---" "Why did you call him Tortoise, if he wasn't one?" Alice asked. "We called him Tortoise because he taught us," said the Mock Turtle angrily. "Really you are very dull!" |
