Glad you are reading the thing [Seven Pillars of Wisdom]. Please don’t inhibit yourself from scribbling comments of an insulting sort in the margins, made especially wide for the purpose. Your praise makes my stomach warm: but your criticisms are really helpful: whether in the field of morality, belles-lettres, tactics, or just manners. Down with them while you can!
T.E. Lawrence to Robin Buxton, 1923
