those who that are with a small and limited scope in life always thinks the world outside their sphere of interests are small and drab.
do not suppose art or poetry are a toy of social customs, economic growth, historical trends, and national spirit, when you have only learned to make or count money based on them, and do not suppose the difficult business of finding scientific truths and mathematical laws are always decidedly vain and futile struggles of mankind in the eye of eternity.
