Of Human Bondage


It is not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one's dignity, to work unhampered, to be generous, frank and independent.

When I read a book I seem to read it with my eyes only, but now and then I come across a passage, perhaps only a phrase, which has a meaning for me, and it becomes part of me.

People ask you for criticism, but they only want praise.

... Of Human Bondage, W Somerset Maugham
