Google is my best friend and my worst enemy. It's fabulous for research, but then it becomes addictive. I'll have a character eating an orange, and next thing I'm Googling types of oranges, I'm visiting chat rooms about oranges, I'm learning the history of the orange. -Liane Moriarty History
After all my years of playing soldiers, and then of reading History, I have almost a mania to be in the East, to see fighting, and to serve. -Wilfred Owen History
