"There is nothing --absolutely nothing-- half so much worth doing as
simply messing about in boats. 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."
Spoken by Ratty to Mole in Wind
in the Willows
a children's book by Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932).
