Anthony Powell Quotes

Once Decided In His Mind On A Given Picture Of What Some Aspect Of Life Was Like, He Objected To Any Modification Of The Design. He Possessed An Absolutely Rigid View Of Human Relationships. Into This, Imagination Scarcely Entered, And Whatever Was Lost In Grasping The Niceties Of Character Was Amply Offset By A Simplification Of Practical Affairs. Occasionally, It Was True. I Had Known Widmerpool Involved In Situations Which Were Extraordinary Chiefly Because They Were Entirely Misunderstood, But On The Whole He Probably Gained More Than He Lost By These Limitations; At Least In The Spheres That Attracted Him.
