Quote choice[edit]

It seems peculiar to me that, despite Peake having made some very great objective quotes, we only have a selection of seemingly arbitrarily (or at least, subjectively) chosen quotes from his literary works.

I understand that it is his artistic mind he is celebrated for, and that nothing better communicates this than his poetry. But I was able to learn more about the man's own rational perspective from this website: https://www.mervynpeake.org/artist.html

I am not suggesting that literary quotes of famous writers should not be included. It is just the way they dominate this page that makes it appear something like a blog listing a collection of favourite quotes, rather than the objective source of information Wikiquote ought to be. 2A01:4B00:F01A:BE00:4EEE:239F:ADC6:F520 09:37, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
