Quote by Emily Dickinson

Of Consciousness, her awful Mate. The Soul cannot be rid -- as easy the secreting her behind the Eyes of God.


Of Consciousness, her awful Mate. The Soul cannot be rid --

Summary

This quote implies that consciousness, with all its complexities and burdens, is an inseparable companion to the human soul. It suggests that one cannot simply escape or hide from consciousness, just as it is impossible to conceal or bury the soul itself. The phrase "the secreting her behind the Eyes of God" highlights the futility of trying to mask or suppress one's consciousness, as it is an innate and unshakeable aspect of our existence that remains forever exposed.

Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion -- and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion... while truth again reverts to a new minority.

Fiction is not imagination. It is what anticipates imagination by giving it the form of reality. This is quite opposite to our own natural tendency which is to anticipate reality by imagining it, or to flee from it by idealizing it. That is why we shall never inhabit true fiction; we are condemned to the imaginary and nostalgia for the future.
