The journey from our town to the metropolis, was a journey of about five hours. It was a little past mid-day when the four-horse stage-coach by which I was passenger, got into the ravel of traffic frayed out about the Cross Keys, Wood-street, Cheapside, London.

“I am instructed to communicate to him,” said Mr. Jaggers, throwing his finger at me, sideways, “that he will come into a handsome property. Further, that he be removed from his present sphere of life, and be brought up like a gentleman - as a young fellow of great expectations.”

“Biddy,” I said, after binding her to secrecy, “I want to be a gentleman.”
“Oh, I wouldn’t, if I was you!” she returned. “I don’t think it would answer.”
“Biddy,” said I, with some severity, “I have particular reasons for wanting to be a gentleman.”
“You know best, Pip.”

Als #D66 hier in stinkt zijn ze werkelijk geen knip voor de neus waard. En dat het CDA niet midden is maar gewoon keirechts, wisten we natuurlijk allang.
Wat een ongelofelijke huichelaar is die @henri Gewoon een traditionele CDA’er. De fatsoensrakker wil gaan regeren met de fascistoïde JA21z

Bontenbal noemt kabinet met JA21 erbij ‘meest realistische scenario’
Formatie: De druk op D66-leider Rob Jetten om te formeren met JA21, wordt hier mee groter. Ook komt er haast bij kijken: de partijen willen binnen een maand

I remember Mr. Hubble as a tough high-shouldered stooping old man, of a sawdusty fragrance, with his legs extraordinarily wide apart: so that in my short days I always saw miles of open country between them when I met him coming up the lane.

It was a rimy morning, and very damp. I had seen the damp lying on the outside of my little window, as if some goblin had been crying over there all night, and using the window for a pocket-handkerchief.

Nog voor het weekend voorbij is offerde D66 Rogier van Boxtel in Buitenhof PvdA/GL al op aan de VVD.
Weinig stemmers op Rob Jetten zullen van te voren beseft hebben dat ze de VVD, de voormalige partner van de PVV van Geert Wilders, er gratis bij kregen.
Die zullen zich met Yeşilgöz bedrogen voelen

My father’s family name being Pirrip, and my christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip.

To criticize the people’s shortcomings is necessary … but in doing so we must truly take the stand of the people and speak out of whole-hearted eagerness to protect and educate them. To treat comrades like enemies is to go over to the stand of the enemy.

The only way to settle questions of an ideological nature or controversial issues among the people is by the democratic method, the method of discussion, of criticism, of persuasion and education, and not by the method of coercion or repression.

There is a serious tendency towards capitalism among the well-to-do peasants. This tendency will become rampant if we in the slightest way neglect political work among the peasants during the co-operative movement and for a very long period after.

The socialist system will eventually replace the capitalist system; this is an objective law independent of man’s will. However much the reactionaries try to hold back the wheel of history, sooner or later revolution will take place and will inevitably triumph.

If the U.S. monopoly capitalist groups persist in pushing their policies of aggression and war, the day is bound to come when they will be hanged by the people of the whole world. The same fate awaits the accomplices of the United States.
