“Anger warms the invention, but overheats the oven.”

“Peter would think her sentimental. So she was. For she had come to feel that it was the only thing worth saying – what one felt. Cleverness was silly. One must say simply what one felt.”

“... she indulged in melancholy - that cheapest and most accessible of luxuries.”
