"If one puts forward an idea to a true Englishman - always a rash thing to do - he never dreams of considering whether the idea is right or wrong. The only thing he considers of any importance is whether one believes it oneself.
Now, the value of an idea has nothing whatsoever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it. indeed, the probabilities are that the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, as in that case it will not be coloured by either his wants, his desires or his prejudices.
However I don't propose to discuss politics, sociology or metaphysics with you. I like persons better than principles and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world."

"We can forgive a man for making something useful if he doesn't admire it. The only reason to make something useless is that one admires it endlessly.

All art is quite useless."
