Quotes by Derek J. Taylor (?)

“There’s one thing about being a worrier, you’re prepared to go to mind-torturing lengths to worry today today on the off-chance it will avoid an even worse worry tomorrow. The alternative would be not to fret today as the catastrophe is unlikely to happen tomorrow.”
― Derek J. Taylor, A Horse in the Bathroom: How An Old Stable Became Our Dream Village Home

“If you were a romantic aesthete back in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, fond of melancholic, remote, fallen beauty, then here, among the remains of Lindisfarne Priory with its distant view of the island’s crag-top castle, is just the sort of place where you’d tell your friends you wanted to meet your lonely, tragic end”

“The world should be thankful that the country took its name from the Angles and not the Saxons. If it had been the other way around – and given the ‘a’ to ‘e’ shifts in Essex and Sussex – the land of Shakespeare and Queen Victoria might have been called Sexland. And what would that have done for English (Sexish?) national identity?”
