A Great Deal Of Energy Is Wasted In Hating People, And I Can Honestly Say I've No Wish To Expend Such A Precious Resource On Being Outraged About Anyone.

Every Decently-made Object, From A House To A Lamp Post To A Bridge, Spoon Or Egg Cup, Is Not Just A Piece Of 'stuff' But A Physical Embodiment Of Human Energy, Testimony To The Magical Ability Of Our Species To Take Raw Materials And Turn Them Into Things Of Use, Value And Beauty.

My Favourite Authors Include Trollope And Dickens.
