"I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across-not to just depict life-or criticize it-but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing. You can't do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful. Because if it is all beautiful you can't believe in it. Things aren't that way."

"For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word or a verse and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem. The men of more delicate ear write down these cadences more faithfully, and these transcripts, though imperfect, become the songs of the nations."

Work

Quote_1.png
Cyril Connolly
"Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature."

Family

Quote_1.png
Cyril Connolly
"Those of us who were brought up as Christians and have lost our faith have retained the sense of sin without the saving belief in redemption. This poisons our thought and so paralyses us in action."

Faith

Quote_1.png
Cyril Connolly
"Today the function of the artist is to bring imagination to science and science to imagination, where they meet, in the myth."

Imagination

Quote_1.png
Cyril Connolly
