“A desk is a dangerous place from which to watch the world.”
John le Carré, The Honourable Schoolboy

David Baldacci
“Why can't people just sit and read books and be nice to each other?”
David Baldacci, The Camel Club

James Baldwin
“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.”
James Baldwin

Marilyn Monroe
“If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.”
Marilyn Monroe

Louis de Bernières
“I know you have not thought about it. Italians always act without thinking, it's the glory and the downfall of your civilisation. A German plans a month in advance what his bowel movements will be at Easter, and the British plan everything in retrospect, so it always looks as though everything occurred as they intended. The French plan everything whilst appearing to be having a party, and the Spanish...well, God knows. Anyway, Pelagia is Greek, that's my point.”
Louis de Bernières, Corelli’s Mandolin
