The Fair Haven Quotes

“A misgiving was a warning voice from God, which should be attended to as a man valued his soul.”
― Samuel Butler, The Fair Haven

“The demand for a new edition of The Fair Haven gives me an opportunity of saying a few words about the genesis of what, though not one of the most popular of Samuel Butler’s books, is certainly one of the most characteristic.  Few of his works, indeed, show more strikingly his brilliant powers as a controversialist and his implacable determination to get at the truth of whatever engaged his attention.”
― Samuel Butler, The Fair Haven
