Beatrice Webb Quotes

Beatrice Webb

I never changed after that. I sought for nothing in the one great source of change which is humanity.

I was satisfied. I was filled to the brim. But I was dead. And I was changeless. Anne Rice

The dog approached again, cautiously. I found the bologna sandwich, ripped off a chunk, wiped the cheap watery mustard off, then placed it on the sidewalk. The dog walked up to the bit of sandwich, put his nose to it, sniffed, then turned and walked off. This time he didn't look back. He accelerated down the street.
