“Tell your troubles to a man, and to the best of his ability he’d advise you how to fix them. Complain at that, and you’d bewilder him. Why seek advice, only in order to reject it? What, otherwise, could have been the point of the conversation?”

“Sebastian tried not to look too far ahead. Ambition was a young man's game. Theses days he was more concerned with the continuing survival and security of those he loved. It was no longer so much a matter of dreaming how high he might climb, as of always keeping in mind how far they might fall.”
― Stephen Gallagher, The Bedlam Detective
