Ms K’s Quotes

“But Shakespeare one gets acquainted with without knowing how. It is a part of an Englishman's constitution.

― Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

Music takes me to places of illimitable sensual and insensate joy, accessing points of ecstasy that no angelic lover could ever locate, or plunging me into gibbering weeping hells of pain that no torturer could devise. Music makes me write this sort of maundering adolescent nonsense without embarrassment. Music is in fact the dog's bollocks. Nothing else comes close.”
― Stephen Fry, Moab Is My Washpot
