To travel hopefully is better than to have arrived. - Robert Louis Stevenson

It is the mark of a modest man to accept his friendly circle ready-made from the hands of opportunity;

In anything fit to be called by the name of reading, the process itself should be absorbing and voluptuous; we should gloat over a book, be rapt clean out of ourselves, and rise from the perusal, our mind filled with the busiest, kaleidoscopic dance of images, incapable of sleep or of continuous thought. The words, if the book be eloquent, should run thenceforward in our ears like the noise of breakers, and the story, if it be a story, repeat itself in a thousand coloured pictures to the eye.

Once you are married, there is nothing left for you, not even suicide.
