Quote Of The Week

‘Like bullies the whole world over, my mother did not mess with strength. She messed with weakness.’

Anne Robinson– Memoirs Of An Unfit Mother

Quote Of The Week

‘When we’re kind to one person, it might actually be affecting around 16 people. Our behaviour had a three-stage knock-on, or ‘ripple’ effect, so when we help one person, that person then helps other people, who in turn helps others. The 3-Degree Ripple Rule.’

Dr. David Hamilton sourced from ‘Kindness, the little thing that matters most.’  by Jaime Thurston.

Quote Of The Week

‘Sometimes I think that my brain cannot hold together, it is filled with too much horror- too great a despair.’

The Doll – Daphne Du Maurier

Daphne Du Maurier’s short stories in this above collection are very memorable. She is so much more than Rebecca and The Birds, even though they are awesome tales in their own right. The Birds scared the crap out of me and gave me nightmares for years when I was a child! I would like to thank Cabrogal for introducing me to the amazing works of Daphne Du Maurier.

Quote Of The Week

‘Well, the third clown is Google. He’s really funny too. He has a wonderful motor-car and everything goes wrong with it – and in the end it blows up into a hundred different peices! Google has a fine little dog called Squib. You’ll like him. He helps Google with his nonsense!’

Circus Days Again – Enid Blyton  (1942)

Quote Of The Week

‘The burden of a thinking person is that they think too much. My mind scents the danger of desiring and expecting something fantastic, something that could not possibly happen actually, and of being badly disillusioned.’

–Maggie Joy Blunt from ‘Our Hidden Lives. The Everyday Diaries Of A Forgotten Britain 1945-1948′ by Simon Garfield.
