“Che la vostra prudenza sia la vostra guida: adattate l’azione al mondo, la parola all’azione, ma attenti a non oltrepassare la moderazione della natura: qualsiasi esagerazione è estranea allo scopo del dramma, il cui fine, in origine come ora, era ed è porgere uno specchio alla natura, mostrando alla virtù il suo aspetto, al vizio la sua immagine e all’età e al tempo la loro forma e la loro impronta.”

George MacDonald was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister.
Known particularly for his poignant fairy tales and fantasy novels, George MacDonald inspired many authors, such as W. H. Auden, J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, E. Nesbit and Madeleine L'Engle. G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence."
Even Mark Twain, who initially disliked MacDonald, became friends with him, and there is some evidence that Twain was influenced by MacDonald.
MacDonald grew up influenced by his Congregational Church, with an atmosphere of Calvinism. But MacDonald never felt comfortable with some aspects of Calvinist doctrine; indeed, legend has it that when the doctrine of predestination was first explained to him, he burst into tears (although assured that he was one of the elect). Later novels, such as Robert Falconer and Lilith, show a distaste for the idea that God's electing love is limited to some and denied to others.
