Citas

• “When the inhabitants of some sequestered island first descry the ‘big canoe’ of the European rolling through the blue waters towards their shores, they rush down to the beach in crowds, and with open arms stand ready to embrace the strangers. Fatal embrace! They fold to their bosoms the viper whose sting is destined to poison all their joys.”

• “Genius, all over the world, stands hand in hand, and one shock of recognition runs the whole circle round.”

• “At present I would prefer not to be a little reasonable,” was his mildly cadaverous reply.

• “Familiarity with danger makes a brave man braver, but less daring. Thus with seamen: he who goes the oftenest round Cape Horn goes the most circumspectly.”

• “Old age is always wakeful; as if, the longer linked with life, the less man has to do with aught that looks like death.”
