“Ricordai allora che una volta in Inghilterra la condanna ai lavori forzati veniva applicata appendendo il condannato al disopra di una ruota azionata a forza d'acqua, obbligando così la vittima a muovere in un certo ritmo le gambe che altrimenti gli sarebbero state sfracellate. Quando si lavora si ha sempre il senso di una costrizione di quel genere. È vero che quando non si lavora la posizione è la stessa e credo giusto di asserire che io e l'Olivi fummo sempre ugualmente appesi; soltanto che io lo fui in modo da non dover movere le gambe. La nostra posizione dava bensì un risultato differente, ma ora so con certezza ch'esso non legittimava né un biasimo né una lode. Insomma dipende dal caso se si viene attaccati ad una ruota mobile o ad una immobile. Staccarsene è sempre difficile.”

“Throw the lumber over, man! Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need—a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing.”

“I don’t understand German myself. I learned it at school, but forgot every word of it two years after I had left, and have felt much better ever since.”

“Heavenly melody, in our then state of mind, would only have still further harrowed us. A soul-moving harmony, correctly performed, we should have taken as a spirit-warning, and have given up all hope. But about the strains of “He’s got ’em on,” jerked spasmodically, and with involuntary variations, out of a wheezy accordion, there was something singularly human and reassuring.”
