Ur Orwells recension (mars 1934) av boken Critique of Poetry av Michael Roberts.
It is not generally realized, or is commonly forgotten, that the process of thought differs vastly in different people; some people think chiefly by a series of visual images, others almost entirely abstractly. Mr. Roberts seems to suggest that the visualising type of mind is necessarily a more primitive type than the non-visualising — a very disputable suggestion, for the power visualisation is possessed in addition to the power of abstract thought.
Så fint beskrivet på något vis.
Jag brukar tänka på det där när folk säger att vi är så lika, alla människor alltså, så brukar jag tänka men också så olika när det gäller de mest grundläggande saker.
