“It is the specialist's task to talk about means, about centimeters. An artist's task is to talk about the goal, about kilometers, thousands of kilometers. The organizing role of art consists of infecting the reader, of arousing him with pathos or irony -- the cathode and anode in literature. But irony that is measured in centimeters is pathetic, and centimeter-sized pathos is ridiculous. No one can be carried away by it. To stir the reader, the artist must speak not of means but of ends, of the great goal toward which mankind is moving.” InspirationalMeanArtEndsMovingArtistLiteratureSpeakGoalRolesMankindReaderTasksRidiculousIronyPatheticSpecialistsCarried AwayPathos Author:Yevgeny Zamyatin

“Of course, it may be that the arts of writing and photography are antithetical. The hope and aim of a word-handler is that he maycommunicate a thought or an impression to his reader without the reader's realizing that he has been dragged through a series of hazardous or grotesque syntactical situations. In photography the goal seems to be to prove beyond a doubt that the cameraman, in his great moment of creation, was either hanging by his heels from the rafters or was wedged under the floor with his lens in a knothole.” WritingMayHas BeensArtMomentsSeemsCoursesGoalRealizingSituationDoubtCreationReaderProvePhotographyAimSeriesImpressionHeelsLensesGrotesqueGreat MomentsCameramanArt Of WritingRafters Author:E.

“If I cannot narrate a life of adventurous and daring exploits, fortunately I have no heavy crimes to confess: and, if I do not rise in the estimation of the reader for acts of gallantry and devotion in my country's cause, at least I may claim the merit of zealous and persevering continuance in my vocation. We are all of us variously gifted from Above, and he who is content to walk, instead of to run, on his allotted path through life, although he may not so rapidly attain the goal, has the advantage of not being out of breath upon his arrival.” IfsMayBookCountryRunningCausesGoalWalksPathCrimeReaderAdvantageClaimsBreathsHeavyDevotionMeritDaringGiftedVocationExploitsAdventurousArrivalsEstimationZealousContinuanceGallantry Book:Peter Simple Source: Peter Simple

“As the worldly philosophers of the past affirmed, the goal of economics is to improve the way society functions.

“In a novel, language is your principal tool, you try to build pictures in the mind of the reader.
