Joseph Conrad
“There is no peace and no rest in the development of material interests. They have their law, and their justice. But it is founded on expediency, and is inhuman; it is without rectitude, without the continuity and the force that can be found only in a moral principle.”
Joseph Conrad, Nostromo

“There is something treasonable about a child that does well. A market gardener I know, who is now about twenty, is a lonely person because he went to the grammar school and the village women say, ‘Didn’t get him far did it? All that schooling and he’s still on the land.’ Perhaps they know there is nothing like education for breaking up an ordinary country family.”
Ronald Blythe

“People look to education now in the same way as they once looked to religion. Are you save? Have you got your O-levels? It’s the same thing – salvation.”
Ronald Blythe, Akenfield: Portrait of an English Village

Joseph Conrad
“That man seems to have a particular talent for being on the spot whenever there is something picturesque to be done.”
Joseph Conrad, Nostromo

“I have seen young boys in this village get married. They think it all bed, poor fellows. I see it quite different to this. I’m in no hurry at all. I must work. I mustn’t be worried or distracted. Not yet. I couldn’t spend time on my work if I was married.”
Ronald Blythe, Akenfield: Portrait of an English Village
