Summary

This quote suggests that being exposed to the vastness and untamed beauty of nature, such as mountains, forests, and sea, can awaken a primal and raw aspect of human nature, making individuals more fierce and instinctual. However, it also highlights that despite this transformation, the fundamental essence of humanity remains intact. Nature's influence may tap into the wildness within, but it does not eradicate the inherent human qualities, suggesting that humans are inextricably linked to the natural world.

The writer's only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one. He has a dream. Everything goes by the board: honor, pride, decency, security, happiness, all, to get the book written. If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the Ode on a Grecian Urn is worth any number of old ladies.

She craved a presence beside her, solid. Fingertips light at the nape of her neck and a voice meeting hers in the dark. Someone who would wait with an umbrella to walk her home in the rain, and smile like sunshine when he saw her coming. Who would dance with her on her balcony, keep his promises and know her secrets, and make a tiny world wherever he was, with just her and his arms and his whisper and her trust.
