More quotes by Anthony Trollope
It is admitted that a novel can hardly be made interesting or successful without love? It is necessary because the passion is one which interests or has interested all. Everyone feels it, has felt it, or expects to feel it.
Anthony Trollope
It is the test of a novel writer's art that he conceal his snake-in-the-grass but the reader may be sure that it is always there.
Anthony Trollope
An enemy might at any time become a friend, but while an enemy was an enemy he should be trodden on and persecuted.
Anthony Trollope
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
People go on quarrelling and fancying this and that, and thinking that the world is full of romance and poetry. When they get married they know better.
Anthony Trollope
Nobody holds a good opinion of a man who has a low opinion of himself.
Anthony Trollope
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
He was essentially a truth-speaking man, if only he know how to speak the truth.
Anthony Trollope
Marvelous is the power which can be exercised, almost unconsciously, over a company, or an individual, or even upon a crowd by one person gifted with good temper, good digestion, good intellects, and good looks.
Anthony Trollope
The circumstances seemed to be simple but they who understood such matters declared that the duration of a trial depended a great deal more on the public interest felt in the matter than upon its own nature.
Anthony Trollope
It is no good any longer having any opinion upon anything.
Anthony Trollope
Rights and rules, which are bonds of iron to a little man, are packthread to a giant.
Anthony Trollope
Of all the needs a book has the chief need is that it be readable.
Anthony Trollope
The true picture of life as it is, if it could be adequately painted, would show men what they are, and how they might rise, not, indeed to perfection, but one step first, and then another on the ladder.
Anthony Trollope
Life is so unlike theory.
Anthony Trollope
In former days, when there were Whigs instead of Liberals, it was almost a rule of political life that all leading Whigs sould be uncles, brothers-in-law, or cousins to each other. This was pleasant and gave great consistency to the party but the system has now gone out of vogue.
Anthony Trollope
If a cook can't make soup between two and seven, she can't make it in a week.
Anthony Trollope
Let a man be of what side he may in politics, unless he be much more of a partisan than a patriot, he will think it well that there should be some equity of division in the bestowal of crumbs of comfort.
Anthony Trollope
It may, indeed, be assumed that a man who loses his temper while he is speaking is endeavouring to speak the truth such as he believes it to be, and again it may be assumed that a man who speaks constantly without losing his temper is not always entitled to the same implicit faith.
Anthony Trollope
He possessed the rare merit of making a property of his time and not a burden.
