“The child ... stands upon a place apart, a little spectator of the world, before whom men and women come and go, events fall out, years open their slow story and are noted or let go as his mood chances to serve them. The play touches him not. He but looks on, thinks his own thought, and turns away, not even expecting his cue to enter the plot and speak. He waits,he knows not for what.”
—Woodrow Wilson (18561924)
“It is the test of a novel writers art that he conceal his snake-in-the-grass; but the reader may be sure that it is always there.”
—Anthony Trollope (18151882)
