Аноним8 октября 2014 г."I object very much to being called a cute kid," she replied. "If it is God's will that I should be pretty, I'll be pretty; if I am to be plain, I shall be plain without complaint. But come what will, I shall never be vulgar. Only vulgar people are cute kids."

"What?"
"Oh, don't be alarmed. I don't want to marry you, or tag around after you, or monopolize you. I just mean that I love you. You're a wonderful person and so much like a woman. That sounds silly, of course, but you know what I mean. So many women, even the young and pretty ones, aren't like women at all. They haven't got that wonderful, magical quality that real women have -- like you. What you are explains what all the really first-rate poets are talking about. You're the first one I've known well who has it, and I love you, and I'll go on loving you. But it's nothing for you to worry about -- just something for me to enjoy. Do you know what I mean?"

"Oho, now I know what you are. You are an advocate of Useful Knowledge."
"Certainly."
"You say that a man's first job is to earn a living, and that the first task of education is to equip him for that job?"
"Of course."
"Well, allow me to introduce myself to you as an advocate of Ornamental Knowledge. You like the mind to be a neat machine, equipped to work efficiently, if narrowly, and with no extra bits or useless parts. I like the mind to be a dustbin of scraps of brilliant fabric, odd gems, worthless but fascinating curiosities, tinsel, quaint bits of carving, and a reasonable amount of healthy dirt. Shake the machine and it goes out of order; shake the dustbin and it adjusts itself beautifully to its new position."
