My literary success meant nothing to me.

Summary

This quote reflects the indifference or lack of value that the speaker assigns to their literary achievements. Despite attaining success in their writing endeavours, it holds no significance or importance in their personal or emotional realm. Perhaps the speaker's priorities lie elsewhere, emphasizing that external recognition or accomplishments hold little intrinsic meaning for them. Ultimately, it implies that the pursuit of literary accolades does not equate to finding fulfillment or happiness in the speaker's life.

We cannot feel strongly toward the totally unlike because it

We cannot feel strongly toward the totally unlike because it is unimaginable, unrealizable; nor yet toward the wholly like because it is stale -- identity must always be dull company.

The beauty and completeness of a wild apple tree living its own life in the woods is heartily acknowledged by all those who have been so happy as to form its acquaintance. The fine wild piquancy of its fruit is unrivaled, but in the great question of quantity as human food wild apples are found wanting. Man, therefore, takes the tree from the woods, manures and prunes and grafts,plans and guesses, adds a little of this and that, selects and rejects, until apples of every conceivable size and softness are produced, like nut galls in response to the irritating punctures of insects. Orchard apples are to me the most eloquent words that culture had ever spoken, but they reflect no imperfection upon Nature's spicy crab.

It's as if every conversation with a woman was a test, and men always failed it, because they always lacked the key to the code and so they never quite understood what the conversation was really about.
