She only modelled for him once,' Max said stubbornly, leaning the canvases back against the wall and replacing the sheet. 'Once, twice or umpteen times, it's proof she knew Spataro... how shall we put it?... on terms a man who loved her might resent.' 'There are lots of artists in Montparnasse, Appelby, and lots of artists' models.' 'I wouldn't like it. And I bet Sir Henry didn't like it either.' 'There was nothing between Corinne and Spat..

In a world that thought itself so wise yet behaved so stupidly, it was possible sometimes to believe that only the mad saw matters as they truly were, that only people like my brother were prepared to admit what they saw from the corner of their eye.

Photographs were more than my livelihood. They were part of my life. The way light fell on a surface never failed to tug at my imagination. The way one picture, a single snapshot, could capture the essence of a time and place, a city, a war, a human being, was embedded in my consciousness. One day, one second, I might close the shutter on the perfect photograph.

As of the end of the month, I shall be joining the ranks of the unemployed.' Colin choked. 'You mean Fithyan & Co. have sacked you?' 'Not exactly.

the layers of pretence. 'If you are right, you may be able to render the Abberley family an inestimable service.' 'I'm right.' 'Your confidence does you credit. But permit me to utter a word of warning. You are in a foreign land of which you know very little. Of its history, I would suspect, even less. Remember your own countrymen's proverbs: a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, whereas ignorance is bliss.' 'What Ortiz knew was inescapa..

We have been systematically promoting the worst aspects of American culture and undermining authority of all kinds--making billions along the way, mind you. And I've poured much of that into campaign coffers so politicians would be obligated to appoint the crazy judges that ruined the judicial system and vote for the bills my people proposed.

We've driven wedges between parents and children, between liberals and conservatives, between whites and ethnic groups, and between the religious and non religious. We've all but destroyed feelings of patriotism and blocked all attempts to stop illegal immigration, improve border control, and establish a national language. And with our nationwide campaign of law suits, we've stretched your Constitution almost beyond recognition." Rulo..

Lack of respect for the incompetent central government, along with language, religious, and cultural differences, will loom more and more significantly as time goes on. Eventually, a few of those states will break away from the U.S., and federal government will be powerless to stop it. "The rest of the country, thanks to our efforts, will be so divided, with so many problems, that it will say 'Good riddance,' and the federal governmen..

If Pandora hadn't opened the box, somebody else would have." "There was never any hope it could remain sealed for ever?" "Not really." [...] "You see, Hope was one of the Spites imprisoned in the box." My companion frowned. "Why did Hope have to be shut away?" "Because it always lied. And, true to form, after its release, it deceived mankind into believing the other Spites could be overcome. They couldn't, of course, but thinking they could..

History is the geology of human experience, a study, as it were, of tragedy and comedy laid down in the strata of past lives. In death there are no winners or losers, merely people who once lived but can never live again. What they thought, what they believed, what they hoped, is largely lost. That which remains is history.
