In my third year, however, I met G. E. Moore, who was then a freshman, and for some years he fulfilled my ideal of genius. ... Moore, like me, was influenced by McTaggart, and was for a short time a Hegelian. But he emerged more quickly than I did, and it was largely his conversation that led me to abandon both Kant and Hegel. In spite of his being two years younger than me, he greatly influenced my philosophical outlook.
