More quotes by Anthony Trollope
There is nothing more tyrannical than a strong popular feeling among a democratic people.
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.
Anthony Trollope
If a cook can't make soup between two and seven, she can't make it in a week.
Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope
He possessed the rare merit of making a property of his time and not a burden.
Anthony Trollope
Nobody holds a good opinion of a man who has a low opinion of himself.
Anthony Trollope
There are some points on which no man can be contented to follow the advice of another - some subjects on which a man can consult his own conscience only.
Anthony Trollope
As to happiness in this life it is hardly compatible with that diminished respect which ever attends the relinquishing of labour.
Anthony Trollope
I ain't a bit ashamed of anything.
Anthony Trollope
The good and the bad mix themselves so thoroughly in our thoughts, even in our aspirations, that we must look for excellence rather in overcoming evil than in freeing ourselves from its influence.
Anthony Trollope
There are worse things than a lie... I have found... that it may be well to choose one sin in order that another may be shunned.
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
Short accounts make long friends.
Anthony Trollope
When I sit down to write a novel I do not at all know, and I do not very much care, how it is to end.
Anthony Trollope
