Jack Lewis is an American singer/song writer commonly known as the brother of antifolk artist Jeffrey Lewis and is almost always featured in his songs as well as for contributing to some recordings for Herman Düne. Jack began releasing solo music in 2002 under the name "Laissezfaire Lewis". Jack released "On a Shoe String" in 2006 and is currently playing music with Jeffrey Lewis & the Junkyard to which it seems his solo project has taken a backseat. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Jack+Lewis

Quotes

  • I have at last come to the end of the Faerie Queene: and though I say "at last", I almost wish he had lived to write six books more as he had hoped to do — so much have I enjoyed it.
  • But the man is a humbug — a vulgar, shallow, self-satisfied mind, absolutely inaccessible to the complexities and delicacies of the real world. He has the journalist's air of being a specialist in everything, of taking in all points of view and being always on the side of the angels: he merely annoys a reader who has the least experience of knowing things, of what knowing is like. There is not two pence worth of real thought or real nobility in him. But he isn't dull.
  • I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.
  • Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life. If I had to give a piece of advice to a young man about a place to live, I think I shd. say, 'sacrifice almost everything to live where you can be near your friends.'
  • For me, reason is the natural organ of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning. Imagination, producing new metaphors or revivifying old, is not the cause of truth, but its condition.
  • Only the skilled can judge the skilfulness, but that is not the same as judging the value of the result.
