104. Made of the Same Stuff. If one is made of the same stuff as a book or work of art, one feels in one's innermost being that it must be excellent, and is offended when others find it ugly, overspiced, or pretentious.

104. De la même étoffe. Si l’on est de la même étoffe qu’un livre ou qu’une œuvre d’art, on estime au plus profond de soi qu’ils doivent être excellents, et l’on se sent offensé lorsque d’autres les trouvent laids, trop épicés ou grandiloquents.
