Quotes
- “We hear a great deal about sex nowadays; it is possible to overestimate its importance, because there are always people who pay it little attention or who apparently manage, like Sir Isaac Newton, to get along, without giving it a thought.”
- “Who strolls so late, for mugs a bait,In the mists of Maida Vale,Sauntering past a stucco gateFallen, but hardly frail?”
- “The commonplace needs no defence,Dullness is in the critic’s eyes,Without a licence life evolvesFrom some dim phase its own surprise;Under these yellow-twinkling elms,Behind these hedges trimly shorn,As in a stable once, so hereIt may be born, it may be born.”
- “It's so utterly out of the world!So fearfully wide of the mark!A Robinson Crusoe existence will pallOn that unexplored side of the Park —Not a soul will be likely to call!”
- “Out of that bungled, unwise warAn alp of unforgiveness grew.”
- “On a sofa upholstered in panther skinMona did researches in .”
