Good Drama Must Be Drastic.

Both In Their Origins And Effects, Boredom And Stuffy Air Resemble Each Other. They Are Usually Generated Whenever A Large Number Of People Gather Together In A Closed Room.

The Analytical Writer Observes The Reader As He Is; Accordingly, He Makes His Calculation, Sets His Machine To Make The Appropriate Effect On Him. The Synthetic Writer Constructs And Creates His Own Reader; He Does Not Imagine Him As Resting And Dead, But Lively And Advancing Toward Him. He Makes That Which He Had Invented Gradually Take Shape Before The Reader's Eyes, Or He Tempts Him To Do The Inventing For Himself. He Does Not Want To Make A Particular Effect On Him, But Rather Enters Into A Solemn Relationship Of Innermost Symphilosophy Or Sympoetry.

A Good Preface Must Be The Root And The Square Of The Book At The Same Time.

Poetry Should Describe Itself, And Always Be Simultaneously Poetry And The Poetry Of Poetry.

True Love Should Be, According To Its Origin, Entirely Arbitrary And Entirely Accidental At The Same Time; It Should Seem Both Necessary And Free; In Keeping With Its Nature, However, It Should Be Both Destiny And Virtue And Appear As A Mystery And A Miracle.
