It is method on "This is England;" it is. But it can't be method on every job because it just doesn't work for everything. ~Vicky McClure
#quotes #vicky-mcclure #england #method

I had got this far, and was thinking of what to say next, and as my habit is, I was pricking the paper idly with my pen.

I while I write, you while you read, and others while they listen or stop their ears, they are all dying. ~Petrarch
