Commonplace Book

'....as they went they talked by the way of all the trifling matters which are of no moment in themselves, but are of such absorbing importance in the mouth of the one person whose prerogative it is to turn life's smallest coins into gold, and earth's commonest corners into paradise.'

from Fuel of Fire by Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler (Chapter IV)
