From Chapter 13 of Colonel Roosevelt, by Edmund Morris, the final part of his three-volume biography of Theodore Roosevelt.
MY TEASERS:
"Imagination, Roosevelt argued, did not have to be invention. In non-fiction writing, it should be no more than the ability to see and feel intensely what was there to be seen and felt."
I agree; -- being able to grasp and experience events while reading can make reading more saliently enjoyable than anything else we do all day.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was an intersting quote -- fascinating how wide-ranging Roosevelt's thoughts were.
ReplyDeleteI like that one, so true and thoughtful.
ReplyDeletea very true quote and I'm sure a very interesting man.
