“They have made the lights of their cities so bright, the stars fade. ... They have only to switch on their street lamps and the million eyes of God go blind.”
Christopher Hope, Darkest England

“...the impulse to do good is, among the English, a very dangerous inclination. Once set upon the path, they are merciless. There is nothing more fatal, except the need to be kind.”
Christopher Hope, Darkest England
