| gptkbp:famousQuote |
“He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.”
“The only end of writing is to enable the readers better to enjoy life, or better to endure it.” “What we hope ever to do with ease, we must first learn to do with diligence.” “A man may write at any time, if he will set himself doggedly to it.” “The road to knowledge is long, and it winds around many dark corners.” |
