I know every book of mine by its smell, and I have but to put my nose between the pages to be reminded of all sorts of things.”

«‘... Poverty will make the best people bad, if it gets hard enough. Why there's so much of it in the world, I'm sure I can't see.’» (New Grub Street, Part One, Chapter VII: Marian's Home) ~ #BornOnThisDay: #GeorgeGissing (George Robert Gissing, 1857-1903), English novelist of the Victorian era, noted for the sheer realism of his novels about the problems and hardships experienced by the lower classes, some of which are considered the first examples of naturalistic novel in English literature. ~ Best-known works: • The Nether World (1889, novel) • New Grub Street (1891, novel) • The Odd Women (1893, novel) ~ «Time is money—says the vulgarest saw known to any age or people.  Turn it round about, and you get a precious truth—money is time. . . . What are we doing all our lives but purchasing, or trying to purchase, time? And most of us, having grasped it with one hand, throw it away with the other.» (The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft, Winter, XXIV) ~ «... For, work as you will, there is no chance of a new and better world until the old be utterly destroyed. Destroy, sweep away, prepare the ground; then shall music the holy, music the civiliser, breathe over the renewed earth, and with Orphean magic raise in perfected beauty the towers of the City of Man.» (The Nether World, Chapter XII: "Io Saturnalia!") ~ Another Victorian, another George's birthday! 🎉 Gissing is a lesser-known Victorian novelist and I only have New Grub Street by him.

"What is your love worth?" asked Rhoda, speaking with a great effort. She had dropped the seaweed, and one of her hands rested upon his shoulder, with a slight repelling pressure. "Worth your whole life!" he answered, with a low, glad laugh. ... "But what is your love worth?" "Perhaps more than you yet understand. Perhaps more than you can understand."

excerpts from george gissing’s the odd women, rhoda nunn and everett barfoot’s ill-fated romance subplot.

it may not work out in the end, but isn’t it lovely!

"Of course; I knew that. You are magnificent.

CHAPTER XXVI. The Unideal Tested.  And neither was content.

the odd women, george gissing. barfoot and nunn are, as people tend to be, imperfect.
