When a man is ill nothing is so important to him as his own illness.
Anthony Trollope
Image
Don't let love interfere with your appetite. It never does with mine.

There is such a difference between life and theory.
Anthony Trollope
Image
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
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.
