Henry Fielding

Without adversity a person hardly knows whether they are honest or not.

Money is the fruit of evil, as often as the root of it.

The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by the tenderness of the best hearts.

I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing; a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.

A man of letters never objects to a slum. He sharpens his pen there.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
