“Happiness is a hard master--particularly other people's happiness. A much harder master, if one isn't conditioned to accept it unquestionably, than truth.”

“Living in denial only makes finding the truth that much harder.”

“They must find it difficult, those who have taken authority as truth, rather than truth as authority.”

“Imaginative literature primarily pleases rather than teaches. It is much easier to be pleased than taught, but much harder to know why one is pleased. Beauty is harder to analyze than truth.”
