beyond literature minded opinion others reason strewn
Literature is strewn with the wreckage of those who have minded beyond reason the opinion of others

They went in and out of each other's minds without any effort.
artist beyond british-author men mind minded nature opinions reason strewn
It is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.
mean mind world
I attain a different kind of beauty, achieve a symmetry by means of infinite discords, showing all the traces of the mind's passage through the world, achieve in the end some kind of whole made of shivering fragments.
memories independent mind
In certain favorable moods, memories -- what one has forgotten -- come to the top. Now if this is so, is it not possible -- I often wonder -- that things we have felt with great intensity have an existence independent of our minds; are in fact still in existence? And if so, will it not be possible, in time, that some device will be invented by which we can tap them?
writing mind excellence
A masterpiece is something said once and for all, stated, finished, so that it's there complete in the mind, if only at the back.
essence giving mind
The poet gives us his essence, but prose takes the mold of the body and mind.
wall house mind
Anecdote: A house that is rooted to one spot but can travel as quickly as you change your mind and is complete in itself is surely the most desirable of houses. Our modern house with its cumbersome walls and its foundations planted deep in the ground is nothing better than a prison and more and more prison like does it become the longer we live there, and wear fetters of a association and sentiment.
voice mind doubt
There is no doubt in my mind, that I have found out how to begin (at 40) to say something in my own voice.
spiritual mind intimacy
It was the intimacy, a sort of spiritual suppleness, when mind prints upon mind indelibly.
character mind excellence
All great writers have, of course, an atmosphere in which they seem most at their ease and at their best; a mood of the general mind which they interpret and indeed almost discover, so that we come to read them rather for that than for any story or character or scene of seperate excellence.
mind finals notes
I [who] am perpetually making notes in the margin of my mind for some final statement...
flower fall mind
All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn, for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds.
space mind spread
I like to have space to spread my mind out in.
