"I'm already intimately familiar with the first two stories, Dorothy L. Sayers' "The Vindictive Story of the Footsteps That Ran", set in 1922 and published 1928, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans", set 1895, and published in 1908, the year my elder grandad was born. So I re-read the first, & skipped the second. (It isn't the best Holmes tale.) On to Orczy." Dec 27, 2025 02:20AM

Marcus Tullius Cicero
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Douglas Adams
“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

J.R.R. Tolkien
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Albert Einstein
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
Albert Einstein

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
Rainer Maria Rilke
