Anthony Trollope
I doubt whether I ever read any description of scenery which gave me an idea of the place described.
Anthony Trollope
Of all the needs a book has the chief need is that it be readable.
Anthony Trollope
A physician should take his fee without letting his left hand know what his right is doing it should be taken without a thought, without a look, without a move of the facial muscles the true physician should hardly be aware that the last friendly grasp of the hand has been made more precious by the touch of gold
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's dogged as does it. It ain't thinking about it.

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
An editor is bound to avoid the meshes of the law, which are always infinitely more costly to companies, or things, or institutions, than they are to individuals.
Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope
What on earth could be more luxurious than a sofa, a book, and a cup of coffee?...Was ever anything so civil?
Anthony Trollope
A woman's life is not perfect or whole till she has added herself to a husband. Nor is a man's life perfect or whole till he has added to himself a wife.
Anthony Trollope
I do like a little romance... just a sniff, as I call it, of the rocks and valleys. Of course, bread-and-cheese is the real thing. The rocks and valleys are no good at all, if you haven't got that.
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
When young Mark Robarts was leaving college, his father might well declare that all men began to say all good things to him, and to extol his fortune in that he had a son blessed with so excellent a disposition.
Anthony Trollope
It is a grand thing to rise in the world. The ambition to do so is the very salt of the earth. It is the parent of all enterprise, and the cause of all improvement.
Anthony Trollope
Would it not be better to go home and live at the family park all the year round, and hunt, and attend Quarter Sessions, and be able to declare morning and evening with a clear conscience that the country was going to the dogs? Such was the mental working of many a Conservative who supported Mr. Daubeny on this occasion.
