It is one of the first duties of a professor, for example, in any subject, to exaggerate a little both the importance of his subject and his own importance in it.

He must shut his eyes a little, and think a little more of his subject and himself than they deserve. G. H. Hardy.”

— Richard Davenport-Hines
