Pasquier Quesnel

Zeal is very blind, or badly regulated, when it encroaches upon the rights of others.

In 1938, I was given a one-year teaching appointment, which was sensational for British universities. This was converted into the usual four-year contract for an Assistant Lecturer in 1939.

I obviously irritate people. I obviously antagonise them.

The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels.
