Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"And then she went away. Ran away from the revelation," said the
man in the bed bitterly.


"What's the good of being angry?" remonstrated Mills, gently. "You
know that this world is not a world for lovers, not even for such
lovers as you two who have nothing to do with the world as it is.
No, a world of lovers would be impossible. It would be a mere ruin
of lives which seem to be meant for something else. What this
something is, I don't know; and I am certain," he said with playful
compassion, "that she and you will never find out."
