Interesting remarks from bio of B.B. by Rachel Cohen

p. 92
William James on Anglo-Florentines including BB;

" Art in their hands is a mere instrument for indulging self pride and scorn of their fellow men"

p. 97
Ernest Samuels on BB;

"His passion to share his ecstatic feelings came from a deep-seated drive for self-assertion and intellectual domination"

p.98
A.K. McComb comparing I Tatti and Ferney;

"the same cosmopolitanism, the same atmosphere of esprit and 'enlightenment', the same centering of attention on the Master of the House."
