quotes by Arthur Ransome

"Who would wave a flag to be rescued if they had a desert island of their own? That was the thing that spoilt Robinson Crusoe. In the end he came home. There never ought to be an end."
— Arthur Ransome

"BETTER DROWNED THAN DUFFERS IF NOT DUFFERS WONT DROWN"
— Arthur Ransome (Swallows and Amazons (Godine Storyteller))
