"For what Harley Street specialist has time..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are.”

“What greater delight and wonder can there be than to leave the straight lines of personality and deviate into these footpaths that lead beneath brambles and thick tree trunks into the heart of the forest where live those wild beasts, our fellow men? That is true: to escape is the greatest of pleasures; street haunting in winter the greatest of adventures.”

“At 46 one must be a miser; only have time for essentials.”

“Money has no utility to me beyond a certain point.”

“Money can't buy happiness, but it will certainly get you a better class of memories.”

“When a man says money can do anything, that settles it: he hasn't got any.”

“People who work for me know that family comes first. And I'm fortunate to have a family that is very supportive of the work I do, so I don't have to live two separate lives.”

“You've always lived here, right?" Sarah asked. "Except for the years I went to college." "Didn't you ever want to move away? To experience something new?" "Like bistros?" She nudged him playfully with her elbow. "No, not just that. Cities have a vibrancy, a sense of excitement that you can't find in a small town." "I don't doubt it. But to be honest, I've never been interested in things like that. I don't need those things to make me happy. A nice quiet place to unwind at the end of the day, beautiful views, a few good friends. What else is there?”

“There is a difference between standard of living and quality of life. Quality of life is more important.”
