Quote by Graeme Simsion

““In evaluating Elizabeth’s suitability as a potential partner — someone to provide intellectual stimulation, to share activities with, perhaps even to breed with — Claudia’s first concern was my reaction to her choice of glasses frames, which was probably not even her own but the result of advice from an optometrist. This is the world I have to live in.””
