Top of the World, The Carpenters

'So what are you going to do ? I mean besides embracing new ideas?'

'I don't know. Find some sort of other boring job, I suppose.'

'Why can't you find a job and write ?' 

'I don't know what to write any more.'

'What about the journal?' He knew about that, although she had never shown it to him.

'I've sort of stopped it.' She knew he knew that she had been writing it for her father.

After a pause, he said, 'Well, one of the points of a journal is that it should go on, be complete. You might as well do the whole war.'

'I don't feel like it.'

'Ha! Well, in case you don't know, one of the differences between being an amateur and a professional is that amateurs only work when they feel like it, and professionals work whatever they are feeling.'



Confusion (vol. 3/5 of The Cazalet Chronicles), Elizabeth Jane Howard Si vous avez aimé la série Downton Abbey, vous allez adorer la saga de la famille Cazalet, famille bien anglaise, bourgeoise et généreuse et ouverte et unie, qui démarre l'été 1937 (tome 1) et s'achève fin des années 50 (tome 5). C'est récréatif et éducatif, et addictif.
