“ One wouldn't wish to tempt fate ”
You cannot believe everything you hear
~ Jude Morgan
I am no faint-heart when it comes to the unpleasant truth. Indeed I have always taken a bracing sort of pleasure in facing it.
People argue themselves out of their pleasures
The glitter of the great world, you know, is only so much froth and spume: you may look in vain for happiness there.
