In Their Own Words
"I keep a diary in order to enter the wonderful secrets of my life. If I didn’t write them down, I should probably forget all about them."
"It is always painful to part from people whom one has known for a very brief space of time. The absence of old friends one can endure with equanimity. But even a momentary separation from anyone to whom one has just been introduced is almost unbearable."
"Algy, could you wait for me till I was thirty-five?"
