Commonplace Book

'"...they tell you truths that you'd rather not hear. I don't like people who always tell me the truth. Who wants to hear the truth? I'm sure I don't, it is always so humbling; and humility is the most depressing of virtues; though all virtues are more or less lowering unless taken in very small quantities."'

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