Quotes

boydhas quoted2 years ago
In or out of ’em, it doesn’t mat­ter. Noth­ing seems really to mat­ter, that’s the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don’t; whether you ar­rive at your des­tin­a­tion or whether you reach some­where else, or whether you never get any­where at all, you’re al­ways busy, and you never do any­thing in par­tic­u­lar; and when you’ve done it there’s al­ways some­thing else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you’d much bet­ter not.

“Once, it was noth­ing but sail­ing,” said the Rat. “Then he tired of that and took to punt­ing. Noth­ing would please him but to punt all day and every day, and a nice mess he made of it. Last year it was house­boat­ing, and we all had to go and stay with him in his house­boat, and pre­tend we liked it. He was go­ing to spend the rest of his life in a house­boat. It’s all the same, whatever he takes up; he gets tired of it, and starts on some­thing fresh.”

But the Mole was very full of lunch, and self-sat­is­fac­tion, and pride

Wind on the willow has Timeless classic with charming, memorable characters like Mole, Rat,
Toad and Badger! But can be challenging for younger readers due to the older writing style.

    A Classic children's book, lovely even for grown -ups. The story of four Friends -all small animals - who occasionally mix their life with humans. Delicate and colourful descriptions of nature's enchantments. Interesting characterization and description of human emotions through animals. Funny moments mixed with others highly poetic.
