Lionel Trilling - The Liberal Imagination (1950)

The poet is in command of his fantasy, while it is exactly the mark of the neurotic that he is possessed by his fantasy.
Lionel Trilling
We who are liberal and progressive know that the poor are our equals in every sense except that of being equal to us.

There is no connection between the political ideas of our educated class and the deep places of the imagination.
