“The trouble is, Richard, that you always think you can alter people. You say, Oh, yes, he's a little weak and I can't stand the way he hums to himself when he's shaving but when we live together I'll change that, we'll grow together, but you never do. All that happens is that the little things are symptomatic of bigger things and they become more and more important.”
Wood, Christopher. "Terrible Hard", Says Alice. London: Constable. 1970. (chapter 13)
