Quotation from: Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"I would have none of your protection and none of your rewards. I
only wish I could trust your courage and your sense. When I return in
triumph, as you say, with Barrios, I may find you all destroyed. You
have the knife at your throat now."


It was the doctor's turn to remain silent in the contemplation of
horrible contingencies.


"Well, we would trust your courage and your sense. And you, too, have a
knife at your throat."
