"None bark louder than those who have never seen the cover of my books...Whenever you meet someone like this, let him rant on about my New Testament and when he has made himself hoarse ask if he has read any of it. If he can say he has (without blushing) then ask him to show you one passage he dislakes. You will not find any one of them who can do it"
