As for reading, I doubt whether she did much better by the sea-side than she had done in the town. Men and women say that they will read, and think so—those, I mean, who have acquired no habit of reading—believing the work to be, of all works, the easiest.

Given the absolute faculty of reading, the task of going through the pages of a book must be, of all tasks, the most certainly within the grasp of the man... Anthony Trollope
Of course, Lady Arabella could not suckle the young heir herself. Ladies Arabella never can. They are gifted with the powers of being mothers, but not nursing mothers. Nature gives them bosoms for show, but not for use. So Lady Arabella had a wet-nurse. Anthony Trollope
And then she began to think about Lady Glencora herself. What a strange, weird nature she was,—with her round blue eyes and wavy hair, looking sometimes like a child and sometimes almost like an old woman! And how she talked!

This habit of reading, I make bold to tell you, is your pass to the greatest, the purest, and the most perfect pleasure that God has prepared for His creatures. It lasts when all other pleasures fade. It will support you when all other recreations are gone. It will last until your death. It will make your hours pleasant to you as long as you live. Anthony Trollope
If I had a husband I should want a good one, a man with a head on his shoulders, and a heart. Even if I were young and good-looking, I doubt whether I could please myself. As it is I am likely to be taken bodily to heaven, as to become any man's wife. Anthony Trollope
Anthony Trollope quote: "To have her meals, and her daily walk, and her fill of novels,..."
To have her meals, and her daily walk, and her fill of novels, and to be left alone, was all that she asked of the gods. Anthony Trollope
Anthony Trollope quote: "I doubt whether any girl would be satisfied with her lover's..."

Marvelous is the power which can be exercised, almost unconsciously, over a company, or an individual, or even upon a crowd by one person gifted with good temper, good digestion, good intellects, and good looks. Anthony Trollope
Anthony Trollope quote: "They are best dressed, whose dress no one observes."
They are best dressed, whose dress no one observes. Anthony Trollope
The satirist who writes nothing but satire should write but little - or it will seem that his satire springs rather from his own caustic nature than from the sins of the world in which he lives. Anthony Trollope
Wine is a dangerous thing, and should not be made the exponent of truth, let the truth be good as it may; but it has the merit of forcing a man to show his true colors. Anthony Trollope
Never think that you're not good enough. A man should never think that. People will take you very much at your own reckoning. Anthony Trollope
Anthony Trollope quote: "Till we can become divine, we must be content to be human,..."
Till we can become divine, we must be content to be human, lest in our hurry for change we sink to something lower. Anthony Trollope
Anthony Trollope quote: "The greatest mistake any man ever made is to suppose that the..."
The greatest mistake any man ever made is to suppose that the good things of the world are not worth the winning. Anthony Trollope
