Hector Hugh Munro
The people of Crete unfortunately make more history than they can consume locally.

Great Socialist statesmen aren't made, they're still-born.
Hector Hugh Munro
Why are women so fond of raking up the past? They're as bad as tailors, who invariably remember what you owe them for a suit long after you've ceased to wear it.
Hector Hugh Munro
