Ivy Compton-Burnett
“What they need is to become children again. They have been forced too far forward by this suspicion of something beyond them.”
Ivy Compton-Burnett, Manservant and Maidservant

“A visit to Germany is a tonic to an Englishman. We English are always sneering at ourselves, and patriotism in England is regarded as a stamp of vulgarity. The Germans, on the other hand, believe in themselves, and respect themselves. The world for them is not played out. Their country to them is still the "Fatherland." They look straight before them like a people who see a great future in front of them, and are not afraid to go forward to fulfil it.”
Jerome Klapka Jerome, Diary Of A Pilgrimage

John Galt
“This was principally owing to his grandmother, who had, during the life of the Laird, her husband, languished, almost from her wedding-day, in a state of uninterested resignation of spirit, so quiet, and yet so melancholy, that it partook far more of the nature of dejection than contentment.”
John Galt, The Entail

“Anne and Monica seemed to have grown into their simpler dresses; Hilda’s stuck out from her in every sense. They had damped down their personalities to a discreet glow, whereas Hilda wore hers like a headlight.”
LP Hartley

Ivy Compton-Burnett
“I suppose George is too old to take things to eat, and no one is too old to take a life. People can only be too young for it. When they are young enough, they do not pay the penalty, as though they cannot really have done it.”
Ivy Compton-Burnett, Manservant and Maidservant
