"Cinders: A Sketch of a New Weltanschauung" is a text by T. E. Hulme collected in Speculations: Essays on Humanism and the Philosophy of Art (1924).

"The history of philosophers we know, but who will write the history of the philosophic amateurs and readers?”

"In spite of pretensions to absolute truth, the results of philosophy are always tested by the effects, and by the judgments of other philosophers. There is always an appeal to a circle of people. The same is true of values in art, in morals. A man cannot stand alone on absolute ground, but always appeals to his fellows."
