Quote by Edith Sitwell (1887-1964) , Dame Edith Sitwell (1887-1964)

• I have often wished I had time to cultivate modesty... But I am too busy thinking about myself.

• I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it.

• I am patient with stupidity, but not with those who are proud of it.

• Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.

• My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence.

• The public will believe anything, so long as it is not founded on truth.
