He who does not understand a joke, he does not understand Danish.

I became an ardent, but never a specially good, dancer.

When I was a little boy I did not, of course, trouble much about my appearance.

Just about this time, when in imagination I was so great a warrior, I had good use in real life for more strength, as I was no longer taken to school by the nurse, but instead had myself to protect my brother, two years my junior.

I was not afraid of what I did not like. To overcome dislike of a thing often satisfied one's feeling of honour.

School is a foretaste of life.
