It is a villainy and we all are villains who let it be. No matter how many are guilty, each one who lives with hands unbound is as guilty as any. It were better to die alone, fighting the whole world single-handed, refusing to share the sin or to tolerate it or to live while it was, than with halting speech to protest and with supple conscience to compromise.

"You see, gentlemen, the attempt that ended fifty years ago the attempt that was called in its day Protestantism to establish a religion which was to be secondary in any sense to the State, failed and failed lamentably, in spite of the noble lives that were spent in labouring for such a compromise.

He was almost sick with disappointment; but it was a situation in which there was no use trying to compromise he simply could not make a "love-story" out of "The Genius". So at last there came a silence between them there being nothing more for Miss Lewis to say. "Then I suppose you won't want the play," said Thyrsis, faintly. "I don't know," she answered, with vexation.

If you would have your fire lighted, you must promise us to put down cannibalism altogether henceforth in your island." Tu-Kila-Kila hesitated. After all, it was only for a very short time that these strangers could thus beard him. Their day would come soon. They were but Korongs. Meanwhile, it was best, no doubt, to effect a compromise.

Then, when it was decided where we were going, came the no less important question of what we were to wear on the road.

The coarsest and most revolting shape which the doctrine of conformity can assume, and its degrading consequences to the character of the conformer, may be conveniently illustrated by a passage in the life of Hume.
