More quotes by George Henry Lewes
If you feel yourself to be above the mass, speak so as to raise the mass to the height of your argument.
George Henry Lewes
The real people of genius were resolute workers not idle dreamers.
George Henry Lewes
In Science the paramount appeal is to the Intellect-its purpose being instruction in Art, the paramount appeal is to the Emotions-its purpose being pleasure.
George Henry Lewes
The great desire of this age is for a doctrine which may serve to condense our knowledge, guide our researches, and shape our lives, so that conduct may really be the consequence of belief
George Henry Lewes
The mathematician who is without value to mathematicians, the thinker who is obscure or meaningless to thinkers, the dramatist who fails to move the pit, may be wise, may be eminent, but as an author he has failed.
George Henry Lewes
Many a genius has been slow of growth. Oaks that flourish for a thousand years do not spring up into beauty like a reed.
George Henry Lewes
To write much, and to write rapidly, are empty boasts. The world desires to know what you have done, and not how you did it.
George Henry Lewes
Bad acting, like bad writing, has a remarkable uniformity, whether seen on the French, German, or English stages it all seems modeled after two or three types, and those the least like types of good acting. The fault generally lies less in the bad imitation of a good model, than in the successful imitation of a bad model.
George Henry Lewes
The air is crowded with birds -- beautiful, tender, intelligent birds -- to whom life is a song.
George Henry Lewes
There are occasions when the simplest and fewest words surpass in effect all the wealth of rhetorical amplification.
George Henry Lewes
Mathematicians do not write for the circulating library.
George Henry Lewes
A man may be buoyed up by the efflation of his wild desires to brave any imaginable peril but he cannot calmly see one he loves braving the same peril simply because he cannot feel within turn that which prompts another. He sees the danger, and feels not the power that is to overcome it.
George Henry Lewes
Heart and Brain are the two lords of life. In the metaphors of ordinary speech and in the stricter language of science, we use these terms to indicate two central powers, from which all motives radiate, to which all influences converge.
George Henry Lewes
Books have become our dearest companions, yielding exquisite delights and inspiring lofty aims.
George Henry Lewes
The intensity of vision in the artist and of vividness in his creations are the sole tests of his imaginative power.
George Henry Lewes
Philosophy and Art both render the invisible visible by imagination.
George Henry Lewes
Pliny... makes the statement, and for untrustworthiness of statement he cannot easily be surpassed.
George Henry Lewes
The public can only be really moved by what is genuine.
George Henry Lewes
To one man a stream is so much water-power, to another a rendezvous for lovers.
George Henry Lewes
All good Literature rests primarily on insight.
George Henry Lewes
