“Do your bit to save humanity from lapsing back into barbarity by reading all the novels you can.”
― Richard Hughes
― Richard Hughes
“Mathias shrugged. After all, a criminal lawyer is not concerned with facts. He is concerned with probabilities. It is the novelist who is concerned with facts, whose job it is to say what a particular man did do on a particular occasion: the lawyer does not, cannot be expected to go further than show what the ordinary man would be most likely to do under presumed circumstances.”
