Matching Quote
"Criticism is infested with the cant of materialism,
which assumes that manual skill and activity is the first merit of all
men, and disparages such as say and do not, overlooking the fact, that

end of expression, and confounds them with those whose province is
action, but who quit to imitate the sayers."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
