In Chancery (The Forsyte Chronicles, #2) QUOTES

1 " Curious how he jibbed away from sight of his wife and child!
One would have thought he must have rushed up at the first moment. On the contrary, he had a sort of physical shrinking from it — fastidious possessor that he was. He was afraid of what Annette was thinking of him, author of her agonies, afraid of the look of the baby, afraid of showing his disappointment with the present and — the future. "

― John Galsworthy , In Chancery (The Forsyte Chronicles, #2)

2 " «Qual è la vostra ricetta per conservare la giovinezza, Irene?»
«Quando non si vive ci si conserva meravigliosamente». "

― John Galsworthy , In Chancery (The Forsyte Chronicles, #2)

Avevano un bel da dire i parroci che la libertà spirituale e corporale son cose affatto diverse! Perniciosa dottrina, quella! Il corpo e l’anima non si possono separare in tal modo. La libera volontà costituisce la forza di ogni legame, e non la sua debolezza. "
