“He does not see that we all do what we must to survive. Some laugh, some cry, some bang the world with fists, some run, but it all sums up the same: they make do. The world swarms with people, each one drowning, but each swimming a different stroke to the far shore. —Any Friend of Nicholas Nickleby’s Is a Friend of Mine”
