Narratology Quotes

You can't love someone without imaginative sympathy, without beginning to see the world from another point of view. You can't be a good lover, a good artist or a good politician without this capacity (you can get away with it, but that's not what I mean). Show me the tyrants who have been great lovers.

Literature takes us away from our grey everyday experience, but brings us back enriched with new sensibilities.
