Quotes

• “The twentieth century saw an amazing development of scholarship and criticism in the humanities, carried out by people who were more intelligent, better trained, had more languages, had a better sense of proportion, and were infinitely more accurate scholars and competent professional men than I. I had genius. No one else in the field known to me had quite that.”
• “Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.”
• “The fact that creative powers come from an area of the mind that seems to be independent of the conscious will, and often emerge with a good deal of emotional disturbance in their wake, provides the chief analogy between prophecy and the arts...Some people pursue wholeness and integration, others get smashed up, and fragments are rescued from the smash of an intensity that the wholeness and integration people do not reach.”
• “Every human society possesses a mythology which is inherited, transmitted and diversified by literature.”
• “Read Blake or go to hell, that's my message to the modern world.”
• “Posterity is the laziest and most incompetent of critics.”
