Influential Concepts
The "sorbing" (aggressive absorption of another's personality into one's own, fatal to the other person) was mentioned by author C. S. Lewis as being an influence on the writing of his book The Screwtape Letters.
Another widely-striking feature of the book has been the two new primary colors of the sun Alppain, "ulfire" and "jale":
- "Just as blue is delicate and mysterious, yellow clear and unsubtle, and red sanguine and passionate, so he felt ulfire to be wild and painful jale dreamlike, feverish, and voluptuous."

Famous quotes containing the words influential and/or concepts:
“We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
—A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
“Science is a dynamic undertaking directed to lowering the degree of the empiricism involved in solving problems; or, if you prefer, science is a process of fabricating a web of interconnected concepts and conceptual schemes arising from experiments and observations and fruitful of further experiments and observations.”
—James Conant (1893–1978)
