Summary

This quote suggests that unlike other art forms, literature relies on the active participation and engagement of the audience. While visual arts and music can be appreciated passively, literature requires the reader to imagine and visualize the narrative, giving life to the text through their own interpretation. The reader becomes a vital component in completing the artistic experience, as they actively construct the story and characters in their mind, making literature a uniquely interactive art form.

I think the idea that you know who your inner self is on a daily basis, because... you know. What's good for you 25 years ago may not be good for you now. So, to keep in touch with that, I think that's the first ingredient for success. Because if you're a successful human being, everything else is gravy, I think.

Remember!--It is Christianity to do good always--even to those who do evil to us. It is Christianity to love our neighbours as ourself, and to do to all men as we would have them do to us. It is Christianity to be gentle, merciful and forgiving, and to keep those qualities quiet in our own hearts, and never make a boast of them or of our prayers or of our love of God, but always to show that we love Him by humbly trying to do right in everything. If we do this, and remember the life and lessons of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and try to act up to them, we may confidently hope that God will forgive us our sins and mistakes, and enable us to live and die in peace.
