"Fiction is one of the few experiences where loneliness can be both confronted and relieved."

Next Quote

The secret of genius is to suffer no fiction to exist for us; to realize all that we know; in the high refinement of modern life,in arts, in sciences, in books, in men, to exact good faith, reality, and a purpose; and first, last, midst, and without end, to honor every truth by use.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
