Stella Gibbons Quotes

And She Said It Was A Pity, Because My Father Was So "keen", And What Did I Care About?
So I Said, Well, I Was Not Quite Sure, But On The Whole I Thought I Liked Having Everything Very Tidy And Calm All Around Me, And Not Being Bothered To Do Things, And Laughing At The Kind Of Joke Other People Didn't Think At All Funny, And Going For Country Walks, And Not Being Asked To Express Opinions About Things (like Love, And Isn't So-and-so Peculiar?). So Then She Said, Oh, Well, Didn't I Think I Could Try To Be A Little Less Slack, Because Of Father, And I Said No, I Was I Afraid I Couldn't; And After That She Left Me Alone. But All The Others Still Said I Was No Good.
