“Pay attention only to the form; emotion will come spontaneously to inhabit it. A perfect dwelling always finds an inhabitant. The artist’s business is to build the dwelling; as for the inhabitant, it is up to the reader to provide him.”
Reflections on Literature and Morality • Andre Gide“ “We should show life neither as it is, nor as it should be, but as we see it in our dreams.””
The Cherry Orchard • Anton Chekhov“I have no objection to any person's religion, be it what it may, so long as that person does not kill or insult any other person, because that other person don't believe it also. But when a man's religion becomes really frantic; when it is a positive torment to him; and, in fine, makes this earth of ours an uncomfortable inn to lodge in; then I think it high time to take that individual aside and argue the point with him.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“Newspapers ... chronicle, with degrading avidity, the sins of the second-rate, and with the conscientiousness of the illiterate give us accurate and prosaic details of the doings of people of absolutely no interest whatsoever.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde“When a man understands the art of seeing, he can trace the spirit of an age and the features of a king even in the knocker on a door.”
The Hunchback of Notre Dame • VICTOR HUGO
