Famous quotes by jerome k. jerome:
“The shy man does have some slight revenge upon society for the torture it inflicts upon him. He is able, to a certain extent, to communicate his misery. He frightens other people as much as they frighten him. He acts like a damper upon the whole room, and the most jovial spirits become, in his presence, depressed and nervous.”
—Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)
“It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch each other, and find sympathy.... It is in our follies that we are one.”
—Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)
“If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby ‘it.’”
—Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)
“I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. I love to keep it by me; the idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart.”
—Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)
