“ The first qualification for a historian is to have no ability to invent. ”
For the future, I shall rely only upon those elements of my character which I have tested. Who would ever have said that I should find pleasure in shedding tears? That I should love the man who proves to me that I am nothing more than a fool?
~ Stendhal
There are as many styles of beauty as there are visions of happiness.
A novel is a mirror walking along a main road.
A good book is an event in my life.
