"Lord, confound this surly sister, blight her brow with blotch and blister, cramp her larynx, lung and liver, in her guts a galling give her."
Family
"The general knowledge of time on the island depends, curiously enough, on the direction of the wind."
Time
"At first I threw my weight upon my heels, as one does naturally in a boot, and was a good deal bruised, but after a few hours I learned the natural walk of man, and could follow my guide in any portion of the island."
Adaptability
"A man who is not afraid of the sea will soon be drowned, he said, for he will be going out on a day he shouldn't. But we do be afraid of the sea, and we do only be drownded now and again."
Experience
"I'm a good scholar when it comes to reading but a blotting kind of writer when you give me a pen."
Writing
"In a good play every speech should be as fully flavored as a nut or apple."

"Every article on these islands has an almost personal character, which gives this simple life, where all art is unknown, something of the artistic beauty of medieval life."
