The dark, uneasy world of family life - where the greatest can fail and the humblest succeed.

It is better to entertain an idea than to take home to live with you for the rest of your life.

If we meet an honest and intelligent politician, a dozen, a hundred, we say they aren't like politicians at all, and our category of politicians stays unchanged; we know what politicians are like.

We can't tell our life from our wish

The dark, uneasy world of family life - where the greatest can fail and the humblest succeed.

Read at whim! Read at whim!

The novel is a prose narrative of some length that has something wrong with it.
