More quotes by Anthony Trollope
It is very difficult to say nowadays where the suburbs of London come to an end and where the country begins. The railways, instead of enabling Londoners to live in the country have turned the countryside into a city.
Anthony Trollope
Here in England the welfare of the State depends on the conduct of our aristocracy.
Anthony Trollope
When one wants to be natural, of necessity one becomes the reverse of natural.
Anthony Trollope
I doubt whether any girl would be satisfied with her lover's mind if she knew the whole of it.
Anthony Trollope
Beware of creating tedium!
Anthony Trollope
The satirist who writes nothing but satire should write but little - or it will seem that his satire springs rather from his own caustic nature than from the sins of the world in which he lives.
Anthony Trollope
What is there that money will not do?
Anthony Trollope
A man's mind will very gradually refuse to make itself up until it is driven and compelled by emergency.
Anthony Trollope
The end of a novel, like the end of a children's dinner-party, must be made up of sweetmeats and sugar-plums.
Anthony Trollope
To feel that your hours are filled to overflowing, that you can barely steal minutes enough for sleep, that the welfare of many is entrusted to you, that the world looks on and approves, that some good is always being done to others -- above all things some good to your country -- that is happiness.
Anthony Trollope
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.
Anthony Trollope
If we wish ourselves to be high, we should treat that which is over us as high.
Anthony Trollope
When any practice has become the fixed rule of the society in which we live, it is always wise to adhere to that rule, unless it call upon us to do something that is actually wrong. One should not offend the prejudices of the world, even if one is quite sure that they are prejudices.
Anthony Trollope
When a man is ill nothing is so important to him as his own illness.
Anthony Trollope
I think I owe my life to cork soles.
Anthony Trollope
You men find so many angels in your travels. You have been honester than some. You have generally been off with the old angel before you were with the new, as far at least as I knew.
Anthony Trollope
It is a comfortable feeling to know that you stand on your own ground. Land is about the only thing that can't fly away.
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
The law is a great thing,--because men are poor and weak, and bad. And it is great, because where it exists in its strength, no tyrant can be above it. But between you and me there should be no mention of law as the guide of conduct. Speak to me of honour, and of duty, and of nobility and tell me what they require of you.
Anthony Trollope
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.
