author [Theme]
The carefully written epilogues of his novels and stories seem painfully artificial; the author goes out of his way to indulge the reader’s curiosity, consistently examining the fate of the heroes in a manner that, with great stretch, can be called artistic. He is not a great writer, although he is very nice.
Quote Explanation: About Ivan Turgenev
In his worst works - in all this Ukrainian nonsense - he is a worthless author, in his best - he is incomparable.
Quote Explanation: About Nikolai Gogol
- Nevertheless, it was so. Such a plan existed for Hitler; Hess was actually its author. More precisely, Rudolf Hess was a co-author of this plan. I mean, the main author is Hitler. Hess decided to fly to England, meet with Churchill there and agree on everything personally. He hoped to arrange a meeting between the British Prime Minister and the Reich Chancellor.
I had to live many more years - too many, I think - ashamed of what I wrote. It seems that only when I was forty [years old] did I realize that almost every author of fiction who published at least a line in his life was accused by someone of wasting his God-given talent on nonsense. If you write (books, or paintings, or sculpt, or sing - it doesn’t matter), someone will definitely try to instill in you a feeling of shame for it. I'm not philosophizing - I'm just stating a fact.
A large library distracts attention. It's better to focus on a few authors.
Quote Explanation: Paraphrase Seneca's sentences.
The author turned out to be not only a war correspondent, but also a military man: the text emanated the hardships of front-line roads. One tarpaulin proposal prompted another.
Art has fallen. High virtues, greatness of spirit, everything that can lift and elevate a person are rare. Everything, either a caricature invented to be funny, or a fictitious monstrous passion close to intoxication, to which the author tries with all his might to give the right of citizenship, constitute the content of modern plays.
Literature from different eras is a veritable jewel box. It helps us learn more about ourselves because it reflects the values of people in different eras. Whether the author is aware of it or not, the ideas, prejudices and problems of his contemporary culture always permeate his writings.
- Well, are you a moron? Author means authority.
Possessing thought, casting light on the world, cutting out all the details word for word, bringing everything to size according to the law, the author rhymes with your expectation - everything in this world will repeat itself. Where's new?
The hero-discoverer of a new peak!
We all make mistakes sometime, and then we admit our mistakes, correct what we did and move on. Regrets and remorse have destroyed many. Forget about them. Get off the stupid carousel. You are the author of the book of your life. Turn the page.
When ignorance reigns, absurdity sometimes reaches the point that any self-respecting author thanks the reader for correctly understanding his thought.
Stay humble, life is short...
