More quotes by Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope
My sweetheart is to me more than a coined hemisphere.
Anthony Trollope
Gentlemen lacking substantial sympathy with their leader found it to be comfortable to deceive themselves, and raise their hearts at the same time by the easy enthusiasm of noise.
Anthony Trollope
No one can depute authority. It comes too much from personal accidents, and too little from reason or law to be handed over to others.
Anthony Trollope
Many people talk much, and then very many people talk very much more.
Anthony Trollope
I believe journalism is coming to be regarded as quite a respectable occupation for gentlemen nowadays.
Anthony Trollope
Any one prominent in affairs can always see when a man may steal a horse and when a man may not look over a hedge.
Anthony Trollope
He was essentially a truth-speaking man, if only he know how to speak the truth.
Anthony Trollope
Of Dickens' style it is impossible to speak in praise. It is jerky, ungrammatical, and created by himself in defiance of rules... No young novelist should ever dare to imitate the style of Dickens.
Anthony Trollope
