More quotes by Ethel Smyth
the majority of critical, and plenty of uncritical, readers find quotations a bore.
Ethel Smyth
acceptance is an art that must be mastered if we want to keep our friends for the span of life that remains to us, and presently step off the stage with our self-respect intact.
Ethel Smyth
If a young dog strays up the aisle during church no one says anything, no one does anything, but, none the less, he soon becomes aware that something is wrong. Even so, as the distance between myself and the hearthrug diminished, did I become aware that something was very wrong indeed.
Ethel Smyth

Ethel Smyth

Ethel Smyth

Ethel Smyth
