Additional quotes by Alice Meynell

What else, indeed, should mediocrity be but widespread, anywhere?

I must not think of thee; and, tired yet strong, I shun the thought that lurks in all delight— The thought of thee—and in the blind Heaven's height,
And in the sweetest passage of a song.

The majority can tell ordinary truth, but they should not trust themselves for truth extraordinary.
