“Pulitzer justified his angry outbursts by saying that all men who amounted to anything, including Napoleon, were ill tempered and that a good temper 'was entirely incompatible with greatness in any line.”

“The work and the work alone was what mattered and not the individual. (...) He found competition so distasteful that he even opposed school examinations and ranking, as well as all distinctions and honors. Not that he ignored the talent of others. He encouraged and advised those he considered gifted and "was always disposed to aid anyone in a difficult situation and even to give his time, which was the greatest sacrifice he could make".”
― Denis Brian, The Curies: A Biography of the Most Controversial Family in Science
