“Each time in fiction or in history I meet a well-defined personality I am personally interested in him, for we know each other already, because we met on the river.”

“Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.”

“Good breeding consists of concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.”
