Failing Truth, I will cite some words coming to us from "the classical 
head and romantic heart of Ludwig Pursewarden":

        "I think it better for us to steer clear of the big oblong words
        like Beauty and Truth and so on.  Do you mind?  We are all so
        silly and feeble-witted when it comes to living, but giants when
        it comes to pronouncing on the universe."

                --/ Balthazar /(London: Faber, 1958) 239.

But perhaps the other quote is Durrell penning a Darley-ism.
