“Some gentlemen have made an amazing figure in literature by general discontent with the universe as a trap of dulness into which their great souls have fallen by mistake; but the sense of a stupendous self and an insignificant world may have its consolations.”

Suet624 Well now, that‘s an interesting point. 6y
saresmoore @Suet624 Isn‘t it, though? She does irony very well. 6y

“If youth is the season of hope, it is often so only in the sense that our elders are hopeful about us; for no age is so apt as youth to think its own emotions, partings, and resolves are the last of their kind.”

“Mr. Raffles seemed greatly to enjoy his own wit and swung his leg in a swaggering manner which was rather too much for his companion‘s judicious patience.”

😅 This quote made me grin. Oh and I unintentionally painted my fingernails to match this book cover! #middlemarchinthemorning

MStew Pretty cover😍 6y
TrishB That describes a few people!! 😁 (edited) 6y
saresmoore @TrishB Doesn‘t it, though? She is so good with her character descriptions. Immediately upon introduction, this Mr. Raffles made me annoyed & itchy. 6y
