“The Cockney has one oath, and one oath only, the most indecent in the language, which he uses on any and every occasion.  Far different is the luminous and varied Western swearing, which runs to blasphemy rather than indecency.  And after all, since men will swear, I think I prefer blasphemy to indecency; there is an audacity about it, an adventurousness and defiance that is better than sheer filthiness.”
Jack London, The People of the Abyss

“Clever folk aren’t popular, by and large. They arouse suspicion. They don’t fit in.”

Marlon James, John Crow's Devil

Helen Humphreys, The Evening Chorus
