Ye Utilitarians ye, too, love the UTILE only as a VEHICLE for your inclinations, ye, too, really find the noise of its wheels insupportable! One loves ultimately one's desires, not the thing desired.

While I was there, they came to tell the boy-sophist that his favorite freedman was just dead of a fever. "Inexorable death!" cried he; "get me my Horace.
Second, we look to ourselves with feeble hands and perhaps little talent, and the thought comes to us, that with all we have we are to seek not our own glorification but the joy of others. "Le beau est aussi utile que l'utile, plus peutêtre." Victor Hugo.
