“What is so nice & so unexpected about life is the way it improves as it goes along. I think you should impress this fact on your children because I think young people have an awful feeling that life is slipping past them & they must do something - catch something - they don't quite know what, whereas they've only got to wait & it all comes.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWayLifeShouldChildrenFactsFeelingsPastYoungLife IsWaitingNiceOur ChildrenAwfulYour ChildrenUnexpectedImpressSlipping Book:Love from Nancy: the letters of Nancy Mitford Source: Love from Nancy: the letters of Nancy Mitford
“I feel like we're all here on this planet, and intimacy is important. I can't bear small talk, it's awful. I want to get beyond that thing of discussing how the weather is a bit better today than it was yesterday, and how this is a nice restaurant. I want to get to what are the problems, what's really going on. Are you in love? Are you in a lot of pain? What's really going on in your life? I'm interested in that area, whether it's on stage or in real life.” WantLoveLifeFeelsI CanImportantRealProblemTodayPainBitsNiceStagePlanetsBearsAreasYesterdayReal LifeWeatherAwfulIntimacyRestaurantsLove LifeDiscussingSmall Talk Author:Simon Amstell

“Next-door a baker's apprentice with his wife, an employee in a printing-shop, she has inflammation of the ovaries. Wonder what those two get out of life? Well, first of all, they get each other, then last Sunday a vaudeville and a film, then this or that club meeting and a visit to his parents. Nothing else? Well now, don't drop dead, sir. Add to that nice weather, bad weather, country picnics, standing in front of the stove, eating breakfast and so on. And what more do you get, you, captain, general, jockey, whoever you are? Don't fool yourself.” LifeFirstsWellsTwoCountryLastsFilmNextParentWonderNiceWifeDoorsFrontsFoolEatingStandingAddMeetingsClubsWeatherShopsEmployeeSundayBreakfastCaptainsPrintingApprenticeBakersPicnicsStovesJockeysBad WeatherVaudevilleOvariesEating BreakfastNice Weather Author:Alfred Doblin
