David Mitchell

David Mitchell
I'm a novelist, that's how I make my livelihood, and I concentrate on the novels.
David Mitchell
Do, said Louisa finally, whatever you can't not do.
David Mitchell
She was widely read enough to appreciate my literary wit but not so widely read that she knew my sources. I like that in a woman.
