It is the rule of this world that each person has what he doesn't want and other people have what he does want.Married men have wives and dont seem to want them and young single fellows cry out that they cannot get them.Poor people who can hardly keep themselves have eight hearty children.Rich old couples with no one to leave their money to,die childless.......... Jerome K.Jerome.
We mortals,men and women,devour many a disappointment between breakfast and dinner-time,keep back the tears and look a little pale about the lips,and in answer to inquiries say, "Oh,nothing!". Pride helps us, and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our own hurts.......not to hurt others.........G.Eliot:Middlemarch.
I used to be so dreamy about a man's love as a girl and think that for good or evil love must be the great thing.But is has not been ; it has itself been a dream............E.M.Forster:Howards End.
"The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it. They spell it so abominably that no man can teach himself what it sounds like.".......G.B. Shaw
"There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner. Wind themselves around your limbs like spider silk, and when you are so enthralled you cannot move, they pierce your skin, enter your blood, numb your thoughts. Inside you they work their magic." ......Diane Setterfield
" People disappear when they die. Their voice, their laughter, the warmth of their breath. Their flesh. Eventually their bones. All living memory of them ceases. This is both dreadful and natural. "....Diane Setterfield.
