Jerome K. Jerome said this quote

“ There is this advantage about German beer: it does not make a man drunk as the word drunk is understood in England. There is nothing objectionable about him; he is simply tired. He does not want to talk; he wants to be let alone, to go to sleep; it does not matter where— anywhere. ”

I don't know why it should be, I am sure; but the sight of another man asleep in bed when I am up, maddens me.

~ Jerome K. Jerome

(Speaking of the Cistercian monks) A grim fraternity, passing grim lives in that sweet spot, that God had made so bright! Strange that Nature's voices all around them--the soft singing of the waters, the wisperings of the river grass, the music of the rushing wind--should not have taught them a truer meaning of life than this. They listened there, through the long days, in silence, waiting for a voice from heaven; and all day long and through the solemn night it spoke to them in myriad tones, and they heard it not.

~ Jerome K. Jerome

We must not think of the things we could do with, but only of the things that we can't do without.

~ Jerome K. Jerome
