And also on the unjust fella;

“But I think my most lasting impression was still the unhurried dignity and noblesse with which the Spaniard handled his drink. He never gulped, panicked, pleaded with the barman, or let himself be shouted into the street.

But then it was lightly taxed here, and there were no licensing laws; and under such conditions one could take one's time.”
― Laurie Lee, As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning

“Men go to far greater lengths to avoid what they fear than to obtain what they desire.”
