More From William Hazlitt

The truth, i am convinced, is that there is no longer a poetical audience among the higher class of minds, that moral, political, and physical science have entirely withdrawn from poetry the attention of all whose attention is worth having; and that the poetical reading public being composed of the mere dregs of the intellectual community, the most sufficing passport to their favour must rest on the mixture of a little easily-intelligible portion of mawkish sentiment with an absolute negation of reason and knowledge.

Imagine an american hans christian andersen, conceive of the brothers grimm living in missouri, and you will approximate howard schwartz, a fable-maker and fable-gatherer seduced by the uncanny and the unearthly. in lilith's cave, he once again reaches into a magical cornucopia of folklore and fantasy and spreads before us, in enchanting language, the marvels and shocks of dybbuks, ghosts, demons, spirits, and wizards.

For me, "zoo" has always been a fable. it has nothing to do with realism. it's a fable about what man is doing to the world, and the animals have retribution. but in the real world, this would not happen. but in the world of 1984, this kind of thing can happen in a story.

If people can be educated to see the lowly side of their own natures, it may be hoped that they will also learn to understand and to love their fellow men better. a little less hypocrisy and a little more tolerance towards oneself can only have good results in respect for our neighbor; for we are all too prone to transfer to our fellows the injustice and violence we inflict upon our own natures.
Love Hope Respect
Freedom of will-that is the expression for the complex state of delight of the person exercising volition, who commands and at the same time identifies himself with the executor of the order-who, as such, enjoys also the triumph over obstacles, but thinks within himself that it was really his own will that overcame them. in this way the person exercising volition adds the feelings of delight of his successful executive instruments, the useful underwills or under-souls-indeed, our body is but a social structure composed of many souls-to his feelings of delight as commander.

The nature of the infant is not just a new permutation-and-combination of elements contained in the natures of the parents. there is in the nature of the infant that which is utterly unknown in the natures of the parents.

I used to get nervous, you know if my parents would come watch. and then i would get nervous if my friends came and watched. today it's not a problem anymore actually, because now i enjoy it. i see that they, you know, respect me immensely, and i try to put on a good show and show that i can still play very good tennis.

My parents are artists; in their world, in the world of modern artists, you are supposed to just go into your studio and tune everything out, and your entire relationship with your work is supposed to be a super private one. that was the way to do it and you weren't deeply truly artistic if that wasn't the way you were engaging the press.
