Three Men In A Boat Quotes

“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. ”

― Jerome K. Jerome

“It’s the silence of the night, those few minutes just before the earth wakes and the night walkers have retired
It’s the moist dewy air; a mixture of a dull warmth entangled with a breezy coolness.
It’s the humidity that fills the air and ——
It’s the flashes of the movie projector as another memory emerges”
