"Originality is the power of going behind the common mind, discovering
what it desires as distinct from what it says it desires, and satisfying
the sub-consciousness."
-quoted in Current Opinion, volume 52 (1912)
"I may remark that all the quotations given here are probably wrong. I
quote from memory both by temper and on principle. That is what
literature is for; it ought to be a part of a man."
-quoted in The Public, volume 15 (1912)
"Nowadays, when we wish to speak of democracy or of the average citizen,
we always talk of the 'man in the street'! Real democracies are
conscious of the man in the field."
-introduction to The Cottage Homes of England: The Case Against the Housing System in Rural Districts by W. Walter Crotch (1908)
