Is Shakespeare Dead?

CHAPTER XII--Irreverence
5/7

We must save the word from this destruction.

There is but one way to do it, and that is, to stop the spread of the privilege, and strictly confine it to its present limits: that is, to all the Christian sects, to all the Hindu sects, and me.

We do not need any more, the stock is watered enough, just as it is.
It would be better if the privilege were limited to me alone.

I think so because I am the only sect that knows how to employ it gently, kindly, charitably, dispassionately.

The other sects lack the quality of self-restraint.
