When I read a book, I put in all the imagination I can, so that it is almost like writing the book as well as reading it - or rather, it is like living it. It makes reading so much more exciting, but I don't suppose many people try to do it.
Dodie Smith
Death is too much to ask of the living.
Dodie Smith
The tea was a comfort - and by that time I more than needed comfort.
Dodie Smith
Rose doesn’t like the flat country, but I always did – flat country seems to give the sky such a chance.
