It's the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.

Anything that gets children reading is fine.

I don't want to be separate from something that's important to me.

I think there's something about studying a book which will kill it if you're not careful.

But I didn’t dare. That has always been my trouble. I’ve never dared enough.

My Albert married his Maisie Brown as he said he would. But I think she never took to me, nor I to her for that matter. Perhaps it was a feeling of mutual jealousy.

I got married young, far too young, but it is fine. We are still married 48 years later. I got married at 19.
