Matthew Pearl Quotes

Remember That Only When Past Genius Is Transmitted Into A Present Power Shall We Meet The First Truly American Poet. And Somewhere, Born To The Streets Rather Than The Athenaeum, We Will Come Upon The First True Reader. The Spirit Of The American Is Suspected To Be Timid, Imitative, Tame
The Scholar Decent, Indolent, Complaisant. The Mind Of Our Country, Taught To Aim At Low Objects, Eats Upon Itself. Without Action, The Scholar Is Not Yet Man. Ideas Must Work Through The Bones And Arms Of Good Men Or They Are No Better Than Dreams.
