Wie in seinen Äußerungen über Goethe, so auch in seiner Beurteilung anderer Schriftsteller, verriet Börne seine Nazarenische Beschränktheit. 'Juden' und 'Christen' sind für mich ganz sinnverwandte Worte im Gegensatz zu 'Hellenen', mit welchem Namen ich ebenfalls kein bestimmtes Volk, sondern eine sowohl angeborene als angebildete Geistesrichtung und Anschauungsweise bezeichne.
