“We all, rich and poor alike, need to give our souls an airing once in a while. What both men and women, tired or idle, do want is to be genuinely moved and stirred, either to laughter or to tears, in short, to be lifted out of the rut and routine of their daily life and thoughts.”

“Get out while you can, don’t you see what’s coming?’ And they didn’t listen. Most people said, ‘It won’t happen here. I’m the only surgeon in this town,’ or ‘I’m the favourite opera singer. Don’t worry, it won’t happen to me.’ That phrase always haunted him: it can’t happen here. He felt that as a failure of his life, that he hadn’t managed to persuade them to leave. He took matters to heart.”
