“So I've come to the conclusion that it is thus my own fault when these people I have been talking about finally stop saying "Ah" and tell me it's a pity I always do such odd things.”
Barbara Wright

“The arithmetic of love defied intuition: only when given away did it multiply.”
Barbara Wright, Plain Language

He proposed Thucydides, but he understood how she, being a Quaker, did not want to read about the Peloponnesian War. They came together on Henry James.”
