Lytton Strachey Quotes

In What Resides The Most Characteristic Virtue Of Humanity?
In Good Works?
Possibly.
In The Creation Of Beautiful Objects? Perhaps.
But Some Would Look In A Different Direction, And Find It In Detachment. To All Such David Hume Must Be A Great Saint In The Calendar; For No Mortal Being Was Ever More Completely Divested Of The Trammels Of The Personal And The Particular, None Ever Practiced With More Consummated Success The Divine Art Of Impartiality
