“It was like there was a pile of kindling that was in the back of my imagination just waiting there. Once I lit it, it just flared up and I kept getting ideas and ideas.” WritingIdeasWaitingImaginationLitMy ImaginationKindling Author:Kevin J. Anderson
“The day of my departure at length arrived. Clerval spent the last evening with us. He had endeavoured to persuade his father to permit him to accompany me and to become my fellow student, but in vain. His father was a narrow-minded trader, and saw idleness and ruin in the aspirations and ambition of his son. Henry deeply felt the misfortune of being debarred from a liberal education. He said little, but when he spoke I read in his kindling eye and in his animated glance a restrained but firm resolve not to be chained to the miserable details of commerce.” LittlesSaidEyeLastsFatherFeltSawsStudentsSonAmbitionFellowsDetailsRuinsEveningMiserableVainFirmAspirationSpokesLengthResolveMisfortunesPermitCommerceGlancesIdlenessAnimatedDepartureAccompanyTradersChainedNarrow-mindedLiberal EducationKindling Book:Frankenstein Source: Frankenstein
“When you are offended or annoyed by others, do not allow your thoughts to dwell on them or on anything relating to them. For example, don't think that they ought not to have treated you so, being who they are, or whom they think themselves to be, or the like. All this is fuel and kindling of wrath, anger, and hatred.” ThinkingExampleOughtHatredTreatedFuelOffendedWrathAnnoyedKindling Author:Lorenzo Scupoli
