On noise: "I should prefer to write a dirge for them, the superabundant display of vitality, which takes the form of knocking, hammering, and tumbling things about, has proved a daily torment to me all my life long. There are people, it is true -- nay, a great many people -- who smile at such things, because they are not sensitive to noise, but they are just the very people who are also not sensitive to argument, or thought, or poetry, or art, in a word to any kind of intellectual influence."
