“It seems to me that most of us get all the adventure we are capable of digesting.”
Robertson Davies book The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks
The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks (1947)
Context: It seems to me that most of us get all the adventure we are capable of digesting. Personally, I have never had to fight a dozen pirates single-handed, and I have never jumped from a moving express-train onto the back of a horse, and I have never been discovered in the harem of the Grand Turk. I am glad of all these things. They are too rich for my digestion, and I do not long for them. I have all the close shaves and narrow squeaks in my life that my constitution will stand, and my daily struggles with bureaucrats, taxgatherers and uplifters are more exhausting than any encounters with mere buccaneers on the Spanish Main.
Bram van Velde (1895–1981) Dutch painter
