Muriel Spark, Scottish novelist whose books include The Comforters. The Ballad of Peckham Rye, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, was born this date in 1918. 10 quotes:
She wasn't a person to whom things happen. She did all the happenings.
Ridicule is the only honourable weapon we have left.
A rebellion against a tyrant is only immoral when it hasn't got a chance.
You look for one thing and you find another.
To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil's soul.
One's prime is elusive. You little girls, when you grow up, must be on the alert to recognise your prime at whatever time of your life it may occur. You must then live it to the full.
Frankness is usually a euphemism for rudeness.
For those who like that sort of thing, that is the sort of thing they like.
I am a hoarder of two things: documents and trusted friends.
You're only as young as the last time you changed your mind.
