Quote Of The Day

 


It does not improve the character to be bullied.  Children are microcosms of peoples.  Treat them badly for long enough and then give them a little power and they will punctually repeat with greater emphasis the behaviour to which they have been subjected. - Ngaio Marsh

  1. That picture is perfect. Naigo Marsh is on my list of best crime writers; my mother was a crime fiction fan, so I read everything growing up.
    I do love Jan Willem Van den Wettering, too, whose quote I found: Greed is a fat demon with a small mouth, and whatever you feed it is never enough. Crime writers know human nature.

  2. I found that while checking spelling of Jan Willem's name as I usually don't get it right. Some wag must have added it to his online bio given the times.
