But it's very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed. ~Ursula K. Le Guin

Who will not judge him worthy to be robbed. That sets his doors wide open to a thief, and shows the felon where his treasure lies? ~Ben Jonson
#quotes #ben-jonson #reality

Authors are far closer to the truths enfolded in mystery than ordinary people, because of that very audacity of imagination which irritates their plodding critics.
