Quote by Simon Raven

And so, at the age of thirty, I had successively disgraced myself

And so, at the age of thirty, I had successively disgraced myself with three fine institutions, each of which had made me free of its full and rich resources, had trained me with skill and patience, and had shown me nothing but forbearance and charity when I failed in trust. – Simon Raven
