"I
have been writing and speaking for twenty-five or thirty years, and
have not now one disciple. Why? Not that what I said was not true; not
that it has not found intelligent receivers; but because it did not go
forth from any wish in me to bring people to me, but rather to
themselves. I delight in driving them from me. What could I do, if they
came to me? . . . This is my boast: that I have no school followers. I
would account it a measure of the impurity of my insight if it did not
create independence."
