Richard Davenport-Hines Quotes

Good Work Is Not Done By 'humble' Men. It Is One Of The First Duties Of A Professor, For Example, In Any Subject, To Exaggerate A Little Both The Importance Of His Subject And His Own Importance In It. A Man Who Is Always Asking 'Is What I Do Worthwhile?' And 'Am I The Right Person To Do It?' Will Always Be Ineffective Himself And A Discouragement To Others. He Must Shut His Eyes A Little, And Think A Little More Of His Subject And Himself Than They Deserve. G. H. Hardy
