Quote by W. Somerset Maugham
““Mr Harrington was a bore. He exasperated Ashenden, and enraged him; he got on his nerves, and drove him to frenzy. But Ashenden did not dislike him. His self-satisfaction was enormous but so ingenuous that you could not resent it; his conceit was so childlike that you could only smile at it.””
![“Ashenden was in the habit of asserting that he was never bored. It was one of his notions that only such persons were as had no resources in themselves and it was but the stupid that depended on the outside world for their amusement. [Giulia Lazzari]” quote by W. Somerset Maugham](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f47/w-somerset-maugham-237_habits_ashenden-was-in-the-habit-of-asserting-t_1356244.jpg)
