“We want statesmen and poets and musicians and
philosophers and strong men and delicate men and brave men. The
qualities of one would be the weaknesses of the other.'' We want,
most of all, genius. Proscription on Galtonian lines would tend to
eliminate many of the great geniuses of the world who were not only
``Bohemian,'' but actually and pathologically abnormal--men like
Rousseau, Dostoevsky, Chopin, Poe, Schumann, Nietzsche, Comte,
Guy de Maupassant”
