Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope
Image
I have no ambition to surprise my reader. Castles with unknown passages are not compatible with my homely muse.
Anthony Trollope
Image
When you have done the rashest thing in the world it is very pleasant to be told that no man of spirit could have acted otherwise.
Anthony Trollope
Image
There is nothing perhaps so generally consoling to a man as a well-established grievance a feeling of having been injured, on which his mind can brood from hour to hour, allowing him to plead his own cause in his own court, within his own heart, and always to plead it successfully.
Anthony Trollope
Image
A novelist's characters must be with him as he lies down to sleep, and as he wakes from his dreams. He must learn to hate them and to love them.
Anthony Trollope
Image
Heroes in books should be so much better than heroes got up for the world's common wear and tear
Anthony Trollope
Image
Men will love to the last, but they love what is fresh and new. A woman's love can live on the recollection of the past, and cling to what is old and ugly.
