Penelope Jardine – författare

The Observing Eye is a collection of Muriel Spark''s brilliant asides, sayings, and aphorisms. No other writer can hold a candle to her wry, puckish observations:''Neurotics are awfully quick to notice other people''s mentalities.''''It is impossible to persuade a man who does not disagree, but smiles.''''The sacrifice of pleasure is of course itself a pleasure.''''Be on the alert to recognize your prime at whatever time in your life it may occur.''''Ridicule is the only honourable weapon we have left.''Spark''s striking insights are precise and unforgettable - they will make you laugh and nod in agreement, with a wicked smile on your face. Her wise words never fail to hit exactly the right note.
