Reading for the 2nd time
“When I am an old woman I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.”
― Warning: When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple
― Warning: When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple
“[On setting all clocks at varying times in advance...]
A selfless gesture on my part which ensures I am never late, but really only means that I spend time waiting not only for people who are late but also for people who are on time.”
― It's Not Me, It's You
A selfless gesture on my part which ensures I am never late, but really only means that I spend time waiting not only for people who are late but also for people who are on time.”
― It's Not Me, It's You
“You must never run from anything immortal. It attracts their attention. [...] Never run. [...] Walk slowly, and pretend to be thinking of something else. Sing a song, say a poem, do your tricks, but walk slowly and she may not follow.”
― The Last Unicorn

“A Clock is not time; it's numbers and springs. Pay it no mind.”
― The Last Unicorn
― The Last Unicorn
“I have discovered that of all cursed places under the sun, where the hungriest soul can hardly pick up a few grains of knowledge, a girls' boarding-school is the worst.
