Writing Painful Ends

More From Ellen Glasgow

A story is an end in itself. it is not written to teach, sell, explain or destroy anything. it is not written even to entertain. it is written as a man is born - an organic whole, dictated only by its own laws and its own necessity - an end in itself, not a means to an end.
Mean Men Law
The end of 'the end' is the best place to begin 'the end', because if you read 'the end' from the beginning of the beginning of 'the end' to the end of the end of 'the end', you will arrive at the end.
Best Place Ends Ifs
Margaret had always dreaded lest her courage should fail her in any emergency, and she should be proved to be, what she dreaded lest she was--a coward. but now, in this real great time of reasonable fear and nearness of terror, she forgot herself, and felt only an intense sympathy--intense to painfulness--in the interests of the moment.
Real Coward Emergencies
I never felt like a happy-go-lucky ingenue to begin with. and parts are written better when you're older. when you're young, you're written to be an ingenue, and you're written to be a quality. you're actually not written to be a person, you're written for your youth to inspire someone else, usually a man. so i find it just much more liberating.
Men Inspire Quality
As a child i was taught that to tell the truth was often painful. as an adult i have learned that not to tell the truth is more painful, and that the fear of telling the truth - whatever the truth may be - that fear is the most painful sensation of a moral life.
Children May Taught
I think the things that are more painful to me are not the intrusion of paparazzi, it's the lack of civility that i find more intimidating and far more painful an experience. it's the lack of critical thinking. it's the endless snarky, mean way we talk about each other, we approach each other. the anonymity of being cruel, the delight in tearing people down. the tabloid era that we find ourselves in is a cultural boneyard, and that is painful to me.

Similar Quotes
When literature becomes overly erudite, it means that interest in the art has gone and curiosity about the artist is what's important. it becomes a kind of idolatry.
Art Mean Curiosity
To understand the works of celebrated authors, to comprehend their systems, and retain their reasonings, is a task more than equal to common intellects; and he is by no means to be accounted useless or idle, who has stored his mind with acquired knowledge, and can detail it occasionally to others who have less leisure or weaker abilities.
Knowledge Mean Mind
We can choose to use our growing knowledge to enslave people in ways never dreamed of before, depersonalizing them, controlling them by means so carefully selected that they will perhaps never be aware of their loss of personhood.
Mean Loss Growing Knowledge
There is a immense difference between training to do something and trying to do something....sp iritual transformation is not a matter of trying harder, but of training wisely.... following jesus simply means learning from him how to arrange my life around activities that enable me to live in the fruit of the spirit
