Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)

"A man, to be greatly good, must imagine intensely; he must put himself in the place of another and many others; the pains and pleasures of his species must become his own. The great instrument of moral good is the imagination."

β€˜Richard Osman made Β£10m, but I Β got Β£250 last year’: How much money novelists really make The big hitters of the literary world draw headlines for their book deals. But the reality of writing fiction for a living is an altogether less lucrative existence

None of this will be a surprise to writers, but an interesting overview piece about writers and money (nb the way they explain earning out/royalties is a bit off but everything else seems sound). inews.co.uk/culture/book...

Dare To Hope Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix

Dare To Hope

It wasn’t that long ago when I sincerely wondered if we’d ever see Assange’s face again, let alone in public, let alone in Sydney, let alone heading up what had to be one of the largest pro-Palestine rallies ever held in Australia.

Herman Melville (1819-91) He filled π‘΄π’π’ƒπ’š π‘«π’Šπ’„π’Œ with symbolism, philosophy and Shakespearean rhetoric. The public didn't get it and it only sold about 3,000 copies while Melville was alive. When he died the New York Times referred to him as 'Henry Melville'.

Seems to me if we had the greatest political system in the world, it wouldn’t equip a maniacal bully with the ability to demolish everything in the world on a whim, to protect his ego from knowledge of his own profound ignorance.
