Spencer W. KimballAnd how did little Tim behave?โ asked Mrs Cratchit, when she had rallied Bob on his credulity and Bob had hugged his daughter to his heartโs content. โAs good as gold,โ said Bob, โand better.

James McAvoyThe perfect life, the perfect lie, I realised after Christmas, is one which prevents you from doing that which you would ideally have done (painted, say, or written unpublishable poetry) but which, in fact, you have no wish to do.
