To the very dear and well-beloved friend of my prosperous and evil days— To the friend who, though in the early stages of our acquaintanceship did ofttimes disagree with me, has since become to be my very warmest comrade— To the friend who, however often I may put him out, never (now) upsets me in revenge— To the friend who, marked with coolness by all the female members of my household, and regarded with suspicion by my very dog, nevertheless seems day by day to be more drawn by me, and in return to more and more impregnate me with the odor of his friendship— To the friend who never tells me of my faults, never wants to borrow money, and never talks about himself— To the companion of my idle hours, the soother of my sorrows, the confidant of my joys and hopes— My oldest and strongest pipe, this little volume is gratefully and affectionately dedicated. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) | |

Citat |
Information från den engelska sidan med allmänna fakta. Redigera om du vill anpassa till ditt språk. Idling always has been my strong point. I take no credit to myself in the matter--it is a gift. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) Love is too pure a light to burn long among the noisome gases that we breathe ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) Chivalry is not dead: it only sleeps for want of work to do. It is you [women] who must wake it to noble deeds. You must be worthy of knightly worship. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) When things go wrong at 10 o'clock in the morning we--or rather you--swear and knock the furniture about; but if the misfortune comes at 10 p.m., we read poetry or sit in the dark and think what a hollow world this is. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) There is no pathos in real misery: no luxury in real grief. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) Why assume that a doubled-up body, a contorted, purple face, and a gaping mouth emitting a series of ear-splitting shrieks point to a state of more intelligent happiness than a pensive face reposing upon a little white hand, and a pair of gentle tear-dimmed eyes looking back through Time's dark avenue upon a fading past? ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) [...] standing in the stillness under earth's darkening dome, we feel that we are greater than our petty lives. Hung round with those dusky curtains, the world is no longer a mere dingy workshop, but a stately temple wherein man may worship, and where at times in the dimness his groping hands touch God's. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) It is wonderful what an insight into domestic economy being really hard up gives one. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) I do like cats. They are so unconsciously amusing. There is such a comic dignity about them, such a "How dare you!" "Go away, don't touch me" sort of air. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch one another and find sympathy. We differ widely enough in our nobler qualities. It is in our follies that we are at one. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) Ambition is only vanity ennobled. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) But outsiders, you know, often see most of the game; and sitting in my arbor by the wayside, smoking my hookah of contentment and eating the sweet lotus-leaves of indolence, I can look out musingly upon the whirling throng that rolls and tumbles past me on the great high-road of life. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) Be your own natural self, and then you will only be thought to be surly and stupid. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) All the hate and scorn and love of a deep nature such as the shy man is ever cursed by fester and corrupt within, instead of spending themselves abroad, and sour him into a misanthrope and cynic. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) I saw a little mite sitting on a doorstep in a Soho slum one night, and I shall never forget the look that the gas-lamp showed me on its wizen face--a look of dull despair, as if from the squalid court the vista of its own squalid life had risen, ghostlike, and struck its heart dead with horror. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) "Oh, give me back the good old days of fifty years ago," has been the cry ever since Adam's fifty-first birthday. [...] From all accounts, the world has been getting worse and worse ever since it was created. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) The world must be rather a rough place for clever people. Ordinary folk dislike them, and as for themselves, they hate each other most cordially. ![](https://image.librarything.com/pics/transdot.gif) | |
