Metaphysicians have been learning their lessons for the last four thousand years, and it is high time that they should now begin to teach us something.

Why should I disguise what you know so well, but what the crowd never dream of? We companies are all birds of prey; mere birds of prey. The only question is, whether in serving our own turn, we can serve yours too; whether in double-lining our own nest, we can put a single living into yours.
