QotD
From the
Quotation of the day mailing list, 2008-01-30:
"With such a power at his command Dickens made his books
blaze up, not by tightening the plot or sharpening the wit, but
by throwing another handful of people on the fire." --
Virginia Woolf on the writing of Charles Dickens. Quoted in
Stephen Wall's Charles Dickens: A Critical Anthology.
