"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

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

Milan Kundera
“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

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

Socrates
“The unexamined life is not worth living.”
Socrates

Leonardo da Vinci
“Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.”
Leonardo da Vinci
