“I'm boring. My beliefs are neither here nor there.” — A. N. Wilson

A busybody's work is never done.

When Christians start thinking about Jesus, things start breaking down, they lose their faith. It's perfectly possible to go to church every Sunday and not ask any questions, just because you like it as a way of life. They fear that if they ask questions they'll lose their Christ, the very linchpin of their religion.

People become dons because they are incapable of doing anything else in life.

I've never had a study in my life. I'm like Jane Austen - I work on the corner of the dining table.
