The Historian Records, But The Novelist Creates.

It's Miles Worse For You Than That; I'm In Love With Your Gamekeeper.

The Story Of The Fall Always Fascinates Me As A Play Ground, But I Cannot Find Any Profound Meaning In It, Because Of My 'liberal' View Of Human Nature: I Cannot Believe In A State Of Original Innocence, Still Less In A Profound Meaning In It, And I Am Always Minimising The Conception And The Extent Of Sin And The Sinfulness Of Sex.

It Is The Starved Imagination, Not The Well Nourished, That Is Afraid.

Axiom : Novel Must Have Either One Living Character Or A Perfect Pattern: Fails Otherwise.
