For the essence of humanism is that belief ... that nothing which has ever interested living men and women can wholly lose its vitality - no language they have spoken, nor oracle beside which they have hushed their voices, no dream which has once been entertained by actual human minds, nothing about which they have ever been passionate, or expended time and zeal. (Pater, 'Pico della Mirandola', The Renaissance)
