Quote by David Masson

“We see not why in prose, there should not be much of that mighty licence in the fantastic, that measured riot, that right of whimsy, that unabashed dalliance with the extreme and the beautiful, which the world allows, by prescription, to verse. Why may not one in prose chase forest-nymphs, and see little green-eyed elves?”

“Your daughters are receptors of knowledge, filled with interesting ideas, thoughts that could generate great conversations, find solutions to the world’s problems, if you care to engage them in talk. Don’t force them to be something they are not, because your sons have no control over themselves. Don’t shut them in, imprison them in shrouds, black cloaks with only their eyes showing, covering them up like corpses ready to be thrown on a communal burial heap.”
