Famous quotes with Robinson crusoe

• Only Robinson Crusoe had everything done by Friday.

  Anonymous
• It is not the actual discomforts themselves that are hard to bear. Who would mind roughing it a bit if that were all it meant? What cared Robinson Crusoe for a patch on his trousers? Did he wear trousers? I forget; or did he go about as he does in the pantomimes? What did it matter to him if his toes did stick out of his boots? and what if his umbrella was a cotton one, so long as it kept the rain off? His shabbiness did not trouble him; there was none of his friends round about to sneer him. Being poor is a mere trifle. It is being known to be poor that is the sting.

  W. H. Auden
• It was an epoch in my life, it is an epoch in every child's life, the first reading of Robinson Crusoe.
