Kenneth Grahame (1859–1932), British essayist, writer of children's books. Rat, in The Wind in the Willows, ch. 1 (1908).
Rat continued, "In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
