Emotional Fire

Famous quotes containing the words emotional and/or fire:

    Whatever is felt upon the page without being specifically named there—that, one might say, is created. It is the inexplicable presence of the thing not named, of the overtone divined by the ear but not heard by it, the verbal mood, the emotional aura of the fact or the thing or the deed, that gives high quality to the novel or the drama, as well as to poetry itself.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
