I Don't Read My Reviews, I Measure

The People Who Live In The Past Must Yield To The People Who Live In The Future. Otherwise The World Would Begin To Turn The Other Way Round.

Far From The Madding Crowd Is A Mistake On A Honeymoon.... Solitude! Wherever You Are, If You're On A Honeymoon, You'll Get Quite As Much Solitude As Is Good For You Every Twenty-four Hours. Constant Change And Distraction -- That's What Wants Arranging For. Solitude Will Arrange Itself.

Every Scene, Even The Commonest, Is Wonderful, If Only One Can Detach Oneself, Casting Off All Memory Of Use And Custom And Behold It, As It Were, For The First Time.

I Know People Who Read And Read, And For All The Good It Does Them, They Might As Well Cut Bread And Butter. Unless You Give At Least 45 Minutes Of Careful, Fatiguing Reflection Upon What You Are Reading, Your Minutes 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.
