Quote by Jerome K. Jerome

“Getta via il ciarpame, amico! Che la tua barchetta sia leggera, e porti soltanto ciò di cui hai bisogno - una casa modesta e dei piaceri semplici, un paio d’amici degni di questo nome, qualche persona da amare e che ti ami, un gatto, un cane, un paio di pipe, abbastanza da mangiare e da metterti addosso, e un po’ più di abbastanza da bere, perchè la sete è cosa pericolosa. Troverai che la tua barca si guida più facilmente e che sarà meno soggetta a rovesciarsi. Se poi si rovescia, che importa? La buona, la semplice mercanzia resiste all’acqua. Avrai tempo di pensare, come anche di lavorare.

It’s not my fault success has brought my unseemly arrogance and braggadocio to the surface: I was always thus tainted, but when you’re poor and unsuccessful it’s just vulgar ostentation to flaunt such character flaws: success wears very badly on me: I’m a sore winner.

In demanding the hand of a woman he neither understood nor was capable of knowing, he had instead received from her the chance to see himself and the opportunity to become a better man. And he had changed. He knew he had. He knew that he was not that man stalking angrily back to his chambers in Rosings Hall. What had happened to him in those intervening months? He was not sure; he could offer no complete explanation, but the man who had opened Rosings's doors, already prepared to write an angry letter, was a stranger, a man who had been walking through his entire life asleep. But now, he had awoken.”
