The denunciation of the young is a necessary part of the hygiene of older people, and greatly assists in the circulation of their blood Picture Quote #1

I object to being told that I am saving daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind... At the back of the Daylight Saving scheme, I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make them healthy, wealthy, and wise in spite of themselves Picture Quote #1
