"Genius can write on the backs of old envelopes, but mere talent requires the very best stationery that money can buy."
Jan Struther, 'Pens, Ink and Paper',
quoted in Valerie Grove's 1989 Introduction
to Mrs Miniver (1939)
"Genius can write on the backs of old envelopes, but mere talent requires the very best stationery that money can buy."
