James Hilton Quote
During a subsequent visit, however, Chang told him that there were other books published up to about the middle of 1930 which would doubtless be added to the shelves eventually; they had already arrived at the lamasery. We keep ourselves fairly up-to-date, you see, he commented. There are people who would hardly agree with you, replied Conway with a smile. Quite a lot of things have happened in the world since last year, you know. Nothing of importance, my dear sir, that could not have been foreseen in 1920, or that will not be better understood in 1940.
