“ I was something that lay under the sun and felt it, like the pumpkins, and I did not want to be anything more. I was entirely happy.

“ Nearly all the Escapists in the long past have managed their own budget and their social relations so unsuccessfully that I wouldn't want them for my landlords, or my bankers, or my neighbors.
