Art consists not so much in the knowledge of principles, as in the manner of applying them; to reveal them to ignorant people is to put a razor in the hand of a monkey.[L’art est bien moins dans la connaissance des principes que dans la manière de les appliquer: les révéler à des ignorants, c’est laisser des rasoirs sous la main d’un singe.]
