Three Spaniards, four opinions

Make sure you have a different opinion and people will talk about you

Opinions founded on prejudice are always sustained with the greatest violence.

So long as you are a slave to the opinions of the many you have not yet approached freedom or tasted its nectar… But I do not mean by this that we ought to be shameless before all men and to do what we ought not; but all that we refrain from and all that we do, let us not do or refrain from merely because it seems to the multitude somehow honorable or base, but because it is forbidden by reason and the god within us.

Hence from all we have hitherto said, it is clear beloved Catholics that we cannot approve the opinions which some (Protestants, Jews, and other heretics) comprise under the head of Americanism (freedom)

I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they're good or there because they're lucky.
