Strange thing: people who are prone to motion sickness, do not happen... on land. In the sea you meet these accidents at every step, on the boat rife. But on solid ground I have never came across a person who would know what it means to be sick sickness. Just wonder: where disappear when you disembark the thousands and thousands of sufferers, which is swarming with any ship.

...they [the relatives] didn't give me pills, they gave me noogies. And surprisingly, the cuffs often I was cured, at least for a while. What can I say, one stronger then the slap was acting on my liver and more have contributed to the acceleration of motion and immediate implementation of all Affairs that were to be performed than a whole box of pills at the present time.
You see, often, simple home remedies more radical than any expensive medications.

Walking by the sea is good, if you devote about two months, but one week it does not make sense.
You sail on Monday, cherishing the dream of holiday and entertainment. You have fun waving his hand to friends on the shore, the most impressive smoke his pipe and begins pacing the deck as if you were captain cook, sir Francis Drake and Christopher Columbus all in one. On Tuesday you start to regret that set sail. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday you start to wish you were the light of God. On Saturday you force yourself to swallow a Cup of soup, and sitting on the deck, meet the meek martyrs smile on compassionate questions of the passengers about how you feel. On Sunday you are already able to move independently and to take solid foods. And on Monday morning when you are with a suitcase in hand and umbrella under his arm standing at the gangway, waiting for the landing - a walk on the sea you have strongly like.

...if it is forbidden to speak her opinion, so why ask?

...if you need a rest and change of environment, it is best to walk on the sea.

Apparently this is the law of life: each person has what he needs. Married men have wives, and apparently did not value them; and the young bachelors are bitter about not being able to acquire them. The poor, barely able to feed themselves, sometimes up to eight children. The rich elderly who had no one to leave their money to, die childless.

You men will never understand what sort of a woman loved, but there are moments when even a loved one becomes her burden.

Oh Yes, shy men, like ugly women, it is not easy to live in this world: to feel comfortable here, you need to have the skin of a Rhino. Thick skin like clothes for the soul, without it is indecent to go out in civilized society.

Love, hate and contempt that shy people always feel particularly deep, not spill out and rot, poisoning him from the inside and turning into a misanthrope and cynic.

A shy person is inevitably lonely, cut off from friendship and communication. His soul is full of love and longing, but the world doesn't know about it. The iron mask of shyness is firmly rooted to his face, and beneath it not see a man.

The shy man is not to be envied: men dislike him, women despise, and he dislikes and despises at the same time. To shyness impossible to get, and only time can heal this disease.

Alas! Unfortunately, life changes us all. The world is like a horrible slaughter, which put the freshness, purity and radiance, and get something battered, grumpy and wrinkled. <...> Oh, how delightful the energy of youth!

We like all stupid. Men hate intelligent women, and for women the ideal man who she can call "my lovely fool". How nice to meet someone dumber than himself! Because of their stupidity, we once imbued them with sympathy. Smart guy, must be hard to live in this world. Ordinary people dislike them, and the brothers in mind hate each other from the heart.
