Anissa’s Notes & Highlights

One Year's Time by Angela Milne

2 notes & 3 highlights

“Sometimes, indeed, he went so far as to visualise himself as an archangel, a rotund St. Michael, armed with the sword of Dymond and defended by the shield of Green, protecting the helpless from the assault of the massed powers of Darkness, those arch-fiends, the Commissioners of Inland Revenue.”
― Martin Edwards Michael Gilbert

“He was a lean, contained-looking man, with a clipped grey beard and a mouth that cut across his face on a severe slant, like that of someone who spent his days listening to bullshit.”
― Helen Garner, This House of Grief

“You do not seem to appreciate the intensity of Julia’s feelings towards the Department of Inland Revenue. She is under the impression that it is a vast conspiracy having as its sole objective her physical, mental and financial ruin.”
― Sarah Caudwell, Thus Was Adonis Murdered
