“It excites world wonder in the Parliamentary countries that we should build a Chamber, starting afresh, which can only seat two-thirds of its Members. It is difficult to explain this to those who do not know our ways. They cannot easily be made to understand why we consider that the intensity, passion, intimacy, informality and spontaneity of our Debates constitute the personality of the House of Commons and endow it at once with its focus and its strength.” KnowsWorldWayShouldMadeTwoCountryPassionHouseDifficultWonderFocusPersonalityMembersThirdsStartingDebateIntimacySeatsIntensityChamberSpontaneityParliamentaryHouse Of CommonsInformality Author:Winston Churchill
“Flaubert spoke true: to succeed a great artist must have both character and fanaticism and few in this country are willing to pay the price. Our writers have either no personality and therefore no style or a false personality and therefore a bad style; they mistake prejudice for energy and accept the sensation of material well-being as a system of thought.” WellsCountryCharacterArtistEnergyPayMistakeAcceptingStyleWillingMaterialsPersonalitySucceedPrejudiceWell BeingSpokesSensationsGreat ArtFanaticismGreat ArtistPay The Price Author:Cyril Connolly
