The Invention of Fire Quotes

“Man is ever blind to his own faults, but fox-quick at perceiving those of others.”
― Bruce Holsinger, The Invention of Fire

“poet should not be some sweet-singing bird in a trap, feasting on the meat while blind to the net. The net is the meat, all those entanglements and snares and iron claws that hobble us and prevent our escape from the limits of our weak and fallen flesh.”
― Bruce Holsinger, The Invention of Fire
