A book that performs a male maturation through his life experience into a happy end:)
And some quotes:)
- I put such shifts to be put in practice by those who devise them.
- There is a climax to everything, to every state of feeling as well as to every position in life.- But human nature is perverse.
- That merely proves that you know nothing at all about it, I am my mother’s son, but not my uncle’s nephew.
- I shall now at least see the mysterious garden: I shall gaze both on the angels and their Eden.
- The fitness of a professor is not a matter of age.
-Her mouth touched with turns of sweetness as well as defined in lines of sense.
-Any woman sinking her shaft deep enough will at last reach a fathomless spring of sensibility in thy breast.

-She liked to learn, but hated to teach…her success as a teacher rested partly, perhaps chiefly, upon the will of others.
-Human beings – human children especially – seldom deny themselves the pleasure of exercising a power which they are conscious of possessing, even though that power consists in a capacity to make others wretched, a pupil whose sensations are duller than those of his instructor, while his nerves are tougher and his bodily strength perhaps greater, has an immense advantage over that instructor, and he will generally use it relentlessly, because the very young, very thoughtless, know neither how to sympathize nor how to spare.-A ruffle mind makes a restless pillow.
-There is a sort of stupid pleasure in giving child sweets, a fool his bells, a dog a bone.
-It is so that openings are forced into the guarded circle where Fortune sits dealing favors round.
-People who are only in each other’s company for amusement, never really like each other so well, or esteem each other so highly, as those who work together and perhaps suffer together.
