Philosophy and Art both render the invisible visible by imagination  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) All good Literature rests primarily on insight  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) The object of Literature is to instruct, to animate, or to amuse  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) All great authors are seers  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) It is unhappily true that much insincere Literature and Art, executed solely with a view to effect, does succeed by deceiving the public.  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) Science is the systematic classification of experience  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) The delusions of self-love cannot be prevented, but intellectual misconceptions as to the means of achieving success may be corrected  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) As all Art depends on Vision, so the different kinds of Art depend on the different ways in which minds look at things  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) It is unhappily true that much insincere Literature and Art, executed solely with a view to effect, does succeed by deceiving the public  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) Language, after all, is only the use of symbols, and Art also can only affect us through symbols  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) Heart and Brain are the two lords of life.

It stores up the accumulated experience of the race, connecting Past and Present into a conscious unity; and with this store it feeds successive generations, to be fed in turn by them  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) Most expositions of Aristotle’s doctrines, when they have not been dictated by a spirit of virulent detraction, or unsympathetic indifference, have carefully suppressed all, or nearly all, the absurdities, and only retained what seemed plausible and consistent. But in this procedure their historical significance disappears  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) Ideas are forces; our acceptance of one determines our reception of others  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) As all Art depends on Vision, so the different kinds of Art depend on the different ways in which minds look at things.  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) It is not enough that a man has clearness of vision, and reliance on sincerity, he must also have the art of expression, or he will remain obscure.  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) The intensity of vision in the artist and of vividness in his creations are the sole tests of his imaginative power  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) There are many justifications of silence; there can be none of insincerity  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) The real people of genius were resolute workers not idle dreamers  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) The magic of the pen lies in the concentration of your thoughts upon one object  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) Vehemence without feeling is but rant  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) No man ever made a great discovery without the exercise of the imagination  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) A cell is regarded as the true biological atom  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) The artist is called a creator  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) Mathematicians do not write for the circulating library  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) Love is blind; couch not his eyes  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) Pliny... makes the statement, and for untrustworthiness of statement he cannot easily be surpassed  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) Personal experience is the basis of all real literature  (George Henry Lewes Quotes) In complex trains of thought signs are indispensable  (George Henry Lewes Quotes)
