Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned. ↗

The only virtue a character needs to possess between hardcovers, even if he bears a real person's name, is vitality: if he comes to life in our imaginations, he passes the test. ↗

I let the audience use their imaginations. Can I help it if they misconstrue my suggestions? ↗
