Summary

This quote suggests that creative writers have the ability to transcend the limitations of the causes they write about. By infusing their work with imagination and artistry, they are able to convey a deeper meaning and impact than what the causes themselves can accomplish alone. Creative writers have the power to capture emotions, provoke thoughts, and inspire change in ways that go beyond the direct representation of the causes they discuss. They possess a unique ability to elevate and transcend the limitations of their subject matter, making them greater in their creations than the causes themselves.

Adele Adkins' retro-soul debut, '19', was striking less for her songs than for that voice: a voluptuous, slightly parched alto that swooped and fluttered like a Dusty Springfield student trying to upstage her teacher, or at least update the rules.

Nothing is poorer than a truth expressed as it was thought.

Nothing is poorer than a truth expressed as it was thought. Committed to writing in such cases, it is not even a bad photograph. Truth wants to be startled abruptly, at one stroke, from her self-immersion, whether by uproar, music or cries for help.

A man's liberal and conservative phases seem to follow each other in a succession of waves from the time he is born. Children are radicals. Youths are conservatives, with a dash of criminal negligence. Men in their prime are liberals (as long as their digestion keeps pace with their intellect). The middle aged run to shelter: they insure their life, draft a will, accumulate mementos and occasional tables, and hope for security. And then comes old age, which repeats childhood -- a time full of humors and sadness, but often full of courage and even prophecy.

The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethleh

The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today. They perform their cycles with the same mathematical precision, and they will continue to affect each thing on earth, including man, as long as the earth exists.
