Great Wealth May Be To Its Owner

If You've Ever Really Been Poor You Remain Poor At Heart All Your Life. I've Often Walked When I Could Very Well Afford To Take A Taxi Because I Simply Couldn't Bring Myself To Waste The Shilling It Would Cost.

Does There, I Wonder, Exist A Being Who Has Read All, Or Approximately All, That The Person Of Average Culture Is Supposed To Have Read, And That Not To Have Read Is A Social Sin? If Such A Being Does Exist, Surely He Is An Old, A Very Old Man.

The Second Suggestion Is To Think As Well As To Read. I Know People Who Read And Read, And For All The Good It Does Them They Might Just As Well Cut Bread-and-butter. They Take To Reading As Better Men Take To Drink. They Fly Through The Shires Of Literature On A Motor-car, Their Sole Object Being Motion. They Will Tell You How Many Books They Have Read In A Year. Unless You Give At Least 45 Minutes To Careful, Fatiguing Reflection (it Is An Awful Bore At First) Upon What You Are Reading, Your 90 Minutes Of A Night Are Chiefly Wasted.

I Do Want An Expensive Honeymoon. Not Because I'm Extravagant, But Because A Honeymoon Is A Solemn, Important Thing ... A Symbol. And It Ought To Be Done -- Well, Adequately.

No Mind, However Loving, Could Bear To See Plainly Into All The Recess Of Another Mind.
