—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Danger lies in the writer becoming the victim of his own exaggeration, losing the exact notion of sincerity, and in the end coming to despise truth itself as something too cold, too blunt for his purpose—as, in fact, not good enough for his insistent emotion. From laughter and tears the descent is easy to snivelling and giggles.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“Generally speaking, a howling wilderness does not howl: it is the imagination of the traveler that does the howling.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
