Quote by Catherine Carswell

“Don't you agree that there must be something radically wrong with a civilisation, society, theory of life - call it what you like in which a hard-working, serious young woman like myself cannot obtain, without enormous difficulty, expense, or infliction of pain on others, a quiet, clean, pleasant room in which she can work, dream her dreams, write out her thoughts, and keep her few treasures in peace.”

“Самое увлекательное, что может быть в этом мире, это превращать свои фантазии в повседневную жизнь, совмещать их замысловатую кальку с рисунком реального мира, и перерисовывать судьбу, в соответствии со своими мечтами.”
