quotes by Sheridan Hay

"Ageing is a process of exchanging hope for insight"
— Sheridan Hay

"It was ugly, but then ugly objects as a general rule are the bravest."
— Sheridan Hay (The Secret of Lost Things)

"The Arcade, and now Peabody's, combined to tell me that there was life in objects, in books. It was all about having eyes to see the true meaning of things. As Pike proved daily, books held a kind of magic, an apparent as well as a hidden value."
— Sheridan Hay (The Secret of Lost Things)
