Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope, The Eustace Diamonds

H.G. Wells
“Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race.”
H.G. Wells

Oscar Wilde
“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”
Oscar Wilde

Susan B. Anthony

Susan B. Anthony

Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence,

William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well
