quotes by A.J.P. Taylor

"[Otto von Bismarck] only considered the interests of his own country - always the worst offense that a statesman can commit in the eyes of foreigners."
— A.J.P. Taylor (Bismarck: The Man and the Statesman)

"There is nothing nicer than nodding off while reading. Going fast asleep and then being woken by the crash of the book on the floor, then saying to yourself, well it doesn't matter much. An admirable feeling."
— A.J.P. Taylor
