From the same essay, in a passage on conformists that I wish I had written myself:

“Their two is not the real two, their four is not the real four; so that every word they say chagrins us, and we know not where to begin to set them right.”

I almost wish that would become a popular harsh saying: “His two is not the real two, his four is not the real four.”
