“Is not the real experience of each individual very limited? And, if a writer dwells upon that solely or principally, is he not in danger of repeating himself, and also of becoming an egotist? Then, too, imagination is a strong, restless faculty, which claims to be heard and exercised: are we to be quite deaf to her cry, and insensate to her struggles? When she shows us bright pictures, are we never to look at them, and try to reproduce them? And when she is eloquent, and speaks rapidly and urgently in our ear, are we not to write to her dictation?” IfsWritingTryingLooksRealShowsIndividualSpeakStrongImaginationStruggleHeardCryDangerBecomingEarsClaimsFacultyRestlessDeafEloquentDictation Book:Jane Eyre Source: Jane Eyre
“Of all the sights and sounds which attracted me on my first arrival to live in London in the mid-thirties, one combined operation left a lingering, individual spell. I naturally went to Hyde Park to hear the orators, the best of the many free entertainments on offer in the capital.

“My general impression about people like Steve Gould and Carl Sagan and so on is that when they disappear as individuals and are no longer appearing on the stage and they are no longer writing, that their lifetime of acknowledgement by the general reading public is not very long... There were many people in the 19th century who were equally famous people who gave working man's lectures, supporters of Darwin, we as scholars know their names but the general public never heard of them.” PeopleKnowsMenWritingLongReadingNamesIndividualHeardCenturyStageLifetimeDisappearImpressionScholarSupporterLectures19th CenturyAppearingAcknowledgementGeneral PublicWorking ManSagan Author:Richard Lewontin
