Quotes by Margery Sharp (?)

“If he's a poet, why's he in jail?" demanded a suspicious voice.
Madam Chairwoman shrugged velvet shoulders.
"Perhaps he writes free verse," she suggested cunningly.
A stir of approval answered her. Mice are all for people being free, so that they too can be freed form their eternal task of cheering prisoners--so that they can stay snug at home, nibbling the family cheese, instead of sleeping out in damp straw on a diet of stale bread.”
― Margery Sharp, The Rescuers

“Meself I like a breath of air before I go to bed, same as I like a bite o' cheese or something before I take me teeth out.”

“We pray, give us this day our daily bread—not our daily caneton à la presse. Luxury should be the détente after work, the riot after abstinence, one should not become used to it.”
― Margery Sharp, Cluny Brown
