Life itself is an unsolved mystery, said the clergyman gravely.
Agatha Christie

Never go back to a place where you have been happy. Until you do it remains alive for you. If you go back it will be destroyed.

It's no good starting out by thinking one is a heaven-born genius- some people are, but very few. No, one is a tradesman - a tradesman in a good honest trade.
