Elbert Hubbard quote: "A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to..."
A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness. Elbert Hubbard
Well, I'm half Australian, half English and I live in London. That is the only reason I came upon this story. My Australian mother, Meredith Hooper, was invited in late 2007 by some Australian friends to make up a token Australian audience in a tiny fringe theater play reading of an unproduced, unrehearsed play called 'The King's Speech.' Tom Hooper
He did once say the time to worry is when they stop writing about you but again I think that was pretty token of the coverage was very respectful, he rather resented the intrusions on his private life, but that was about it. Anthony Holden
