“It's an odd thing but when you tell someone the true facts of a mythical tale they are indignant not with the teller but with you. They don't want to have their ideas upset. It rouses some vague uneasiness in them, I think, and they resent it. So they reject it and refuse to think about it. If they were merely indifferent it would be natural and understandable. But it is much stronger than that, much more positive. They are annoyed. Very odd, isn't it.” IfsThinkingWantIdeasFactsWould BeNaturalStrongerRefuseTalesOddUpsetRejectsIndifferentVagueAnnoyedResentUneasinessOdd ThingsIndignantTrue Fact Author:Josephine Tey

They are also younger and more ignorant, and therefore more inclined to seek a rough settlement of difficulties without diplomatic subtlety and finesse. All that does not change the fact that American capitalism operates according to the same laws as the others, is confronted with the same fundamental problems, and is headed toward the same catastrophe.” DoeFactsProblemLawLandCapitalismDifficultyStrongerFundamentalsIgnorantRoughCapitalistCatastropheSubtletySettlementDiplomaticCounterpartsFinesseAmerican Capitalism Author:James P.

“The last verse [In My Secret Life] completely got to me, about how we all have great ideals but in reality we end up conforming, following everyone else. We want to be stronger so we lead that life inside, thinking of ourselves as these great brave souls. I literally thought when I was 15 that I was a musical genius and I could change the world, but in fact you're not and you can't and you don't, and that realisation is almost heartbreaking.” ThinkingWorldWantSoulEndsFactsRealityLastsSecretGeniusIdealsStrongerBraveMusicalFollowingChanging The WorldVersesConformGreat IdeaHeartbreakingRealisationSecret LifeBrave SoulsMusical Genius Author:Katie Melua
