    “I understood that all the material of a literary work was in my past life, I understood that I had acquired it in the midst of frivolous amusements, in idleness, in tenderness and in pain, stored up by me without my divining its destination or even its survival, as the seed has in reserve all the ingredients which will nourish the plant.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “Minerva House ... was “a finishing establishment for young ladies,” where some twenty girls of the ages from thirteen to nineteen inclusive, acquired a smattering of everything and a knowledge of nothing.”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    “A man who has humility will have acquired in the last reaches of his beliefs the saving doubt of his own certainty.”
