“It is not a bad idea to get in the habit of writing down one’s thoughts. It saves one having to bother anyone else with them”
Isabel Colegate
“It is not a bad idea to get into the habbit of writing one's thoughts. It saves one having to bother anyone else with them.”
Isabel Colegate
“Supposing it did come, some great trial, might it not cleanse us of our materialism, our cynicism, our lax lazy hypocrisies, make us gird our sinews and find simplicity again?”
Isabel Colegate, The Shooting Party
“Penelope was useful to him in this respect because she was - so she assured him - very much in the swim. Later he discovered seas more secret, cool and rarefied than those in which Penelope demonstrated her brave little breast stroke, but for the time being he submitted himself to her authority.”
