Famous quotes by jerome k. jerome:
“Some people are under the impression that all that is required to make a good fisherman is the ability to tell lies easily and without blushing; but this is a mistake. Mere bald fabrication is useless; the veriest tyro can manage that. It is in the circumstantial detail, the embellishing touches of probability, the general air of scrupulous—almost of pedantic—veracity, that the experienced angler is seen.”
—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)
