Quote by Cedric Watts

“His life was so picturesque as to resemble romantic fiction, and his rufous, swaggering, radical, patrician figure haunts the literature of the period. He appears as 'Mr. X' in Conrad's The Informer, Mr. Courtier'' in Galsworthy's The Patrician, and as 'Mr. Graham' in Wells's When the Sleeper Wakes; Professor Norman Sherry saw him in Charles Gould in Nostromo, while Professor Molly Mahoud saw him as Etringham Granger of The Inheritors.”

It may shock you to learn that those of us with character flaws sometimes do as much good as those of you without.”

“Sometimes, the best way to shine is to step back, go off the radar, and focus on leveling up. Let them wonder where you went while you’re busy becoming your best self. When you reappear, you’ll be unstoppable, radiating success and leaving everyone in awe. So, keep it hush-hush, work in the shadows, and get ready to shine brighter than a disco ball at Studio 54. Glow up like a boss!”
