Favorite John Carey Quotes

1. "Dickens' plots are his most discardable properties, and often have to be pushed aside to let the strange poetry of his imagination emerge." ~ John Carey
2. "Dickens' hypocrites are the prime beneficiaries of his inventive genius. The heroes and heroines have no imagination. We could scrap all the solemn parts of his novels without impairing his status as a writer. But we could not remove Mrs. Gamp or Pecksniff or Bounderby without maiming him irreparably." ~ John Carey
3. "One of history's most useful tasks is to bring home to us how keenly, honestly and painfully, past generations pursued aims that now seem to us wrong or disgraceful." ~ John Carey

Today's Quote

A little girl's fantasies are one thing, and literature is another; just as numbers require rules to give them human meaning, words, too, demand a form to turn them into literature."
