“Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow-creatures is amusing in itself.”
James Anthony Froude

“You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.”
James Anthony Froude, The Nemesis of Faith

“It often seems to me as if History was like a child's box of letters, with which we can spell any word we please. We have only to pick out such letters as we want, arrange them as we like, and say nothing about those which do not suit our purpose.”
James Anthony Froude
