“When a man who is drinking neat gin starts talking about his mother he is past all argument.”
― C.S. Forester, The African Queen
― C.S. Forester, The African Queen
“I thank God daily for the good fortune of my birth, for I am certain I would have made a miserable peasant.”
― C.S. Forester, Mr. Midshipman Hornblower
― C.S. Forester, Mr. Midshipman Hornblower
“Clairvoyant, Hornblower could foresee that in a year's time, the world would hardy remember the incident. In twenty years, it would be entirely forgotten. Yet those headless corpses up there in Muzillac; those shattered redcoats; those Frenchmen caught in the four-pounder's blast of canister -- they were as dead as if it had been a day in which history had been changed.”
― C.S. Forester, Mr. Midshipman Hornblower
