Convalescing from pneumonia one winter, Mary L. Daniels occupied herself by collecting all the digressions to the reader in the 47 novels of Anthony Trollope. Together his digressions fill nearly 400 pages of close-set type.

• “Throughout the world, the more wrong a man does, the more indignant is he at wrong done to him.”
• “A man cannot rid himself of a prejudice because he knows or believes it to be a prejudice.”
• “Prosperity is always becoming more prosperous.”

The whole list is here.
