Quotes by Edmund Gosse

“The man who satisfies a ceaseless
intellectual curiousity probably squeezes more out of life in the long run than anyone else.”
― Edmund Gosse

“I was much affected by the internal troubles of the Punch family; I thought that with a little more tact on the part of Mrs. Punch and some restraint held over a temper, naturally violent, by Mr. Punch, a great deal of this sad misunderstanding might have been prevented.”
― Edmund Gosse, Father and Son
