historians need to treat a participant’s own explanation of events with a certain scepticism. It is often the statement made with an eye to the future that is the most suspect.

If we think of the novel and the epic...The difference lies in the fact that the important thing about the epic is a hero--a man who is a pattern for all men. While, as Mencken pointed out, the essence of most novels lies in the breaking down of a man, in the degeneration of character.

High heels were invented by a woman who had been kissed on the forehead.

Hold up your head! You were not made for failure, you were made for victory. Go forward with a joyful confidence.

Written By George Eliot
