Quote by I Curmudgeon Hugh

There is more truth about Human Nature in a good Sci-Fi or Epic Fantasy Novel than in any Non-Fiction. When you're speaking for real, you hide what you don't want others to see. When you're telling a story, you don't hold back.

Summary

This quote suggests that science fiction and epic fantasy novels often contain a greater understanding of human nature than non-fiction works. In real-life conversations, people tend to hide certain aspects of themselves, presenting only what they want others to see. However, when writing fiction, authors have the freedom to explore and express the depths of human nature without holding back. Through storytelling, authors can delve into the complexity of human emotions, motivations, and behaviors, providing a more truthful and comprehensive portrayal of human nature that may be missing in non-fiction analyses limited by personal biases and inhibitions.

One of the joys our technological civilization has lost is the excitement with which seasonal flowers and fruits were welcomed; the first daffodil, strawberry or cherry are now things of the past, along with their precious moment of arrival.
