Gilbert K. ChestertonAmong the rich you will never find a really generous man even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egotistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it.
Gilbert K. ChestertonA great city is the place to escape the true drama of provincial life, and find solace in fantasy.
