Summary

This quote suggests that heresies, considered as beliefs or opinions that go against established norms or doctrines, should be seen as the result of mankind's ceaseless quest for truth. Rather than casting heresies as something purely negative or deviant, they can be viewed as experiments, attempts made by individuals to find answers and fulfill their inherent curiosity. It implies that even if heresies are deemed erroneous or rejected by society, they emerge from an underlying desire to understand and explore the realm of truth.

A capacity, and taste, for reading, gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others. It is the key, or one of the keys, to the already solved problems. And not only so. It gives a relish, and facility, for successfully pursuing the [yet] unsolved ones.

I think taste is a social concept and not an artistic one. I'm willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else's living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another's brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.
