The past, even a bitter past, is usually more pungent than the present, or at least better organized in the mind Picture Quote #1

Every quotation is therefore necessarily an interpretation Picture Quote #1

The test of an author is not to be found merely in the number of his phrases that pass current in the corner of newspapers... but in the number of passages that have really taken root in younger minds Picture Quote #1

As a young man you don’t notice at all that you were, after all, badly affected. For years afterwards, at least ten years, I kept getting these dreams, in which I had to crawl through ruined houses, along passages I could hardly get through Picture Quote #1

For if in any manner we can stimulate this instinct, new passages are opened for us into nature, the mind flows into and through things hardest and highest, and the metamorphosis is possible Picture Quote #1
