Excerpt from The Wonders of Instinct Others have reproached me with my style, which has not the solemnity, nay, better the dryness of the schools. They fear lest a page that is read without fatigue should not always be the expression of the truth. Were I to take their word for it, we are profound only on condition of being obscure.
