Celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee at Tea & Sympathy in the West Village!
"All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives lies a mystery. Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand."
George Orwell in England, Your England (via wordpainting) (via booklover)
