    Quite frankly, if you bed people of belowstairs class, they go to the papers.

    A true account of the actual is the rarest poetry, for common sense always takes a hasty and superficial view.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    ... when the Spaniards persecuted heretics they may have been crude, but they were not being unreasonable or unpractical. They were at least wiser than the people of to-day who pretend that it does not matter what a man believes, as who should say that the flavour and digestibility of a pudding will have nothing to do with its ingredients.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)
