3 quotes from Of Human Bondage

  • "The study of human nature is the most interesting subject in the world; and that is why the philosophers are so dull, for they can't think of anything but the human mind."
  • "It is always a matter of not asking what the world owes you, but what you owe to the world."
  • "We are all made up of fragments of our experiences, joys, and sorrows; and it is in the suffering that we grow to be both stronger and more humane."

Author : William Somerset Maugham

William Somerset Maugham was a renowned English novelist and playwright, whose best-known works include Of Human Bondage, The Moon and Sixpence, The Razor’s Edge, and The Painted Veil. During his lifetime, he received an honorary doctorate degree from Oxford University and was appointed Companion of Honor. The British writer Sir Harold Acton called him “a born raconteur with a knack for seeing stories and plots of plays wherever his footsteps wandered,” while his contemporary George Orwell named Maugham as his greatest influence.
