To create a figure that will live, one must take the model like common material from which one will extract the beauty, press it, crush it, and obtain its essence. There is nothing in you that is not precious to me. If I made your bust I should be servilely attached to these things which are everything to me because they are something of you.
There is infinitely more hope for the man who goes to Madrid, or any other shrine, in a spirit of opposition, supremely egotistical, supremely confident of his own methods, disposed to belittle the teaching and example of others, than there is for the man who goes to servilely copy and imitate.
I was void of the fears that haunt the parasite who servilely wears the fetters of a court, and daily trembles for the loss of what vice and cunning have acquired.
These slightly grotesque trappings of his are a disguise. He wishes to disguise the fact that he is of the torchbearers, the varlets, the bathkeepers who produced him. So he imitates servilely what he fancies to be the distinguishing marks of his betters their clothes, their manners, their aplomb.
I have pride enough not to want any other servant than myself. The sacristan's widow offered to repair my clothes. I would not permit her to do it.

The town represented on the sculptured slab here reproduced is not Assyrian but Phoenician; it affords data, however, which may be legitimately used in the restoration of the upper part of an Assyrian palace. We can hardly believe that the Mesopotamian artists, in illustrating the wars of the Assyrian kings, copied servilely the real features of the conquered towns.
Mas'r," he mumbled, servilely, "it's on'y a little time t' th' end: let me stay with Lo. She loves me, Lo does." A look of disgust crept over Holmes's face. "Stay, then," he muttered, "I wash my hands of you, you old scoundrel!" He bent over Lois with his rare, pitiful smile. "Have I his life in my hands? I put it into yours, so, child!
