Quotes
- “It's all nonsense to say that the Fifteenth Century can't possibly speak to the Twentieth, because it is the Fifteenth and not the Twentieth, and because those two Centuries haven't got a Common Denominator. They have. It's Human Nature.”
- “Brisk and prompt to war, soft and not in the least able to resist calamity, fickle in catching at schemes, and always striving after novelties – French characteristics remained unaltered twenty centuries after Julius Caesar made a note of them for all time.”
- “He took the imperial hand and shook it in the glad-to-see-you-but-keep-off English fashion.”
- “An appeal to a goodness which is not in him is, to a vain and sensitive soul, a stinging insult.”
- “That cold white candent voice which was more caustic than silver nitrate and more thrilling than a scream.”
- “Most people have only half developed their single personalities. That a man should split his into four and more; and should develop each separately and perfectly, was so abnormal that many normals failed to understand it.”
