The Principles of Aesthetics - Dewitt H. Parker

This quote was added by malevolarky
We cannot demand of the writer that he have no moral purpose or that he leave morality out of his story. For, since the artist is also a man, he cannot rid himself of an ethical interest in human problems... His observations of moral experience will inevitably result in beliefs about it... Yet we should demand that his view of what life ought to be shall not falsify his representation of life as it is. Just as soon as the moral of a tale obtrudes, we begin to suspect that the tale is false.
