Royal Cortissoz quotes:

In this temple As in the hearts of the people For whom he saved the Union The memory of Abraham Lincoln Is enshrined forever

It is an old trick. The playgoer who does not like dirty plays is denounced as a prude; the music-lover who resents cacophony is told he is a pedant; and in all these matters the final crushing blow administered to the man of discrimination is the ascription to him of a hidebound prejudice against things that are new because they are new.
