life law half
life is a tragic mystery. We are pierced and driven by laws we only half understand, we find that the lesson we learn again and again is that of accepting heroic helplessness.
people solitude age
Our age is so gregarious that there is at present a marked prejudice against anyone being alone. It is looked down on, and a need to be alone is almost considered a fault, a weakness, as though if one cannot endure - more - enjoy being with other people every minute one is aloof, unreal, and somehow to be pitied.
fun book heart
What fun it is to generalize in the privacy of a note book. It is as I imagine waltzing on ice might be. A great delicious sweep in one direction, taking you your full strength, and then with no trouble at all, an equally delicious sweep in the opposite direction. My note book does not help me think, but it eases my crabbed heart.
jobs character play
I was shocked by the reaction I got for Bleak House. It was very intensive but one of the best jobs of my life. It was a chance to play a character that grows and develops and I was very enmeshed in it. But I didn't realise how stylish it was and how much people would love it.
I am shy - going to parties kills me.
age
love at any age takes everything you've got.
beautiful falling-in-love teaching
They're always such alive females. And also, all those love stories - no man in Austen has ever fallen in love with a female heroine because she's pretty or beautiful or has long, blonde hair. They fall in love with them because of who they are, because of their vibrancy and their intelligence and if only we were teaching that a bit more in schools.
mean interesting people
I get described as 'interesting' a lot. People often call me odd, too. Maybe they mean ugly. Given the services of a plastic surgeon, I would get a pair of cheekbones
country extraordinary
The country is in an extraordinary ferment.
execution witness billing
Billing and cooing to me is worse to witness an execution.
silent listeners taciturn
I am naturally taciturn, and became a silent and attentive listener.
opposites two people
Never were two people more opposite in sentiment than my companions.
believe keys people
Believing in people before they have proved themselves is the key to motivating people to reach their potential.
people add return
When you nurture people and add value to them without expecting anything in return, they feel significant.
