"Interestingly, there haven't been many racial caricatures. A servile black porter with minstrelsy appearance and dialect made a one-off appearance a few pages ago, serving her food on the train. There was a malevolent mahout at the circus where Annie worked: he's in a lot of strips. I mostly found him to be a jerk and a cad rather than ethnically offensive, but others might find him more egregious." — Dec 04, 2025 11:39AM

“Only ignorance! only ignorance! how can you talk about only ignorance? Don't you know that it is the worst thing in the world, next to wickedness? -- and which does the most mischief heaven only knows. If people can say, 'Oh! I did not know, I did not mean any harm,' they think it is all right.”

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

“Jo Wood was sound, sound as a bell. Solid, cynical, amused and occasionally amusing, he did not appear to be very intelligent, and unlike Richard Fawcett and me, seemed uninterested in words, ideas and the world. But one day he said to me:
‘I’ve got it now. It’s reading isn’t it?’
‘I’m sorry?’
‘You read a lot, don’t you? That’s where it all comes from. Reading. Yeah, reading.’
The next time I saw him he had a Herman Hesse novel in his hands. I never saw him again without a book somewhere on his person. When I heard, some years later, that he had got into Cambridge I thought to myself, I know how that happened. He decided one day to read.”
