“In the same way, the reader of a book who happens to be out of tune with the author's prevailing mood will be bored to death by the things that were written with the greatest enthusiasm. Or else, like the far-away correspondent, he may seize on something which for you was not essential, to make it of the core and kernel of the book.” ReadingAldous HuxleyWitty WisdomWriters On BooksWritngMr CardanThose Barren LeavesMiss ThriplowWitty Comments Author:Aldous Huxley
“It's only to be expected,' said Mr. Cardan comfortingly. 'Anyone who has anything to say can't fail to be misunderstood.The public only understands the things with which it is perfectly familiar.Something new makes it lose its orientation.And then think of the misunderstandings between even intelligent people, people who know one another personally.'..............Then you must know how easy it is for your correspondent to take the expression of one of your passing moods -forgotten long before the arrival of the letter at its destination - as your permanent spiritual condition.” UnderstoodWittySatireWriters QuotesAldous HuxleyWitty WisdomMr CardanThose Barren Leaves Author:Aldous Huxley
