Quotes by Walter Jackson Bate (?)

“In and through the personal rediscovery of the great, we find that we need not be the passive victims of what we deterministically call 'circumstances'...but that by linking ourselves...with the great we can become freer- freer to be ourselves, to be what we most want and value.”
― Walter Jackson Bate, The Burden of the Past and the English Poet
