What Remains

Reviewing the notes where I wrote some of my random thoughts and few memorable lines while reading “The Remains of the Day”, I came across some quotations that I hadn’t used in my paper on it (I often use direct speeches to back-up my analyses and prove my points). These quotations were among the most remarkable I deem. The fact that these are on my notes means a lot (haha), whether these are useful to my critical review or not. By not I mean these likely appeal to emotions rather than to cognition. Well, something in them plea that you give them attention. For one, I don’t know, but perhaps I was a victim of such. (Well, I’m always a victim of emotional appeals T.T) Some I just find cute. Anyway, here they are:

“The simple kindness I had been thanked for, and the simple kindness I had been offered in return, caused me somehow to feel exceedingly uplifted about the whole enterprise facing me over these coming days.”

“I wonder if it wouldn’t have been better if the Almighty had created us all as – well – as sort of plants. You know, firmly embedded in the soil. Then none of this rot about wars and boundaries would have come up in the first place.”

“It has been my privilege to see the best of England over the years, sir, within these very walls.” (Cheesy ~  That’s a butler speaking, never  seeing his confinement within his master’s household as some sort of a curse or desolation, more formally) 

“I hope I’ve been a good father to you.”

Reward

A message you would appreciate so much after days of hard work:

“Dear ALL: Today we saw how all our had work paid off! We succeeded and we need not wait for accreditation results. We succeeded because we did our earnest and because we all worked as a team, nothing can ever beat that! Tonight we rest. Sleep tight everyone. Thank you all.” ~Professor Alido

I’m honored to have helped the department. So is everyone I’d claim. The experience is great, the pleasure immense. 

Gratitude Feedback

Thank thee for your thank yous juniors. We really appreciate them. There are lots of rooms for improvement for all of us. Congratulations for a job well done! ^_^

(Oops, it’s already morning. Anyway, not too late a congratulation.)

“The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.” - Henry David Thoreau

There is my admission that I neither can make the world turn from west to east nor make people see the invisible and the unfathomable so I will just be your friend. I’m helpless against the odds but I have my ears and shoulders. You can forever joke with me. And I love you.
