Anna Brownell Jameson
A cunning mind emphatically delights in its own cunning, and is the ready prey of cunning.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Blessed is the memory of those who have kept themselves unspotted from the world. Yet more blessed and more dear the memory of those who have kept themselves unspotted in the world.
Anna Brownell Jameson
