Daily Literature Quotes

Today's Daily Literature Quote is…

“Stories of imagination tend to upset those without one.”

This quote can be taken in many different ways. For one, it simply could mean that people who like nonfiction probably won't like fiction. Secondly, it could explain why many people prefer to see the movies nowadays rather than read. What I think, though, is that it's talking about books with more controversial issues in their discussion like To Kill a Mockingbird. At the time of their publication, many books like this received intense hatred because they were controversial. No one could see what was the book's message was because the present prevented it from being anything else than it already was.

Absolutely agree with your interpretation. Things that push the boundaries, challenge the status quo and lie far outside the box are what gets people thinking and more often than not, those who are conservative in thinking will have their beliefs and ideals challenged and shaken which inevitably creates a stir and confer more attention onto the subject of controversy. This is why books are so powerful.
