New at IWP Books: Pensées and Letters of Joseph Joubert, Translated by H. P. Collins, 1928.

“Few thoughts and infinite apprehensions; much sensibility and little feeling — if you prefer to put it so, few fixed ideas and many floating ideas; emotions acute but never constant; disbelief in moral obligation and faith in novelty; positive minds and wavering opinions; the assertiveness of doubt; self-assurance and contempt for others; attention to every fanatical doctrine and indifference to cultured thought: these are the faults of our age.”
