|  Happiness is not a possession to be prized, it is a quality of thought, a state of mind. | | All autobiography is self-indulgent. | | Writers should be read, but neither seen nor heard. | | What about the hero of The House on the Strand? What did it mean when he dropped the telephone at the end of the book? I don't really know, but I rather think he was going to be paralysed for life. Don't you? | | And I don't like books which are full of name dropping. | | Women want love to be a novel, men a short story. | | When one is writing a novel in the first person, one must be that person. |
