sentiment

"They say the war killed sentiment," said Soames suddenly: "Is that true?"
"In a way, yes, sir. We had so much reality that we don't want anymore."
"I don't follow you."
"I meant that only reality really makes you feel. So if you pretend that there is no reality, you don't have to feel. It answers awfully well, up to a point." Galsworthy (98)

What to write... I've got nothing. Don't feel the narcissist tonight. Don't want to talk about myself. I would be quite happy only posting quotes from books each day. You'll get more out of them than you will anything I write. So I'll just leave this post as such.
