If you cannot judge a book by its cover, surely we should not judge an author by one book alone?

Sometimes, the simple things are more fun and meaningful than all the banquets in the world.

Tempted to type meaningless twaddle all the time on Twitter...with alliteration, no less!

It's not unpatriotic to denounce an injustice committed on our behalf, perhaps it's the most patriotic thing we can do.

Ah, the magic of music, with it, all things are possible.

Editors can be stupid at times. They just ignore that author's intention. I always try to read unabridged editions, so much is lost with cut versions of classic literature, even movies don't make sense when they are edited too much. I love the longueurs of a book even if they seem pointless because you can get a peek into the author's mind, a glimpse of their creative soul. I mean, how would people like it if editors came along and said to an artist, 'Whoops, you left just a tad too much space around that lily pad there, lets crop that a bit, shall we?'. Monet would be ripping his hair out.
