"They say a man sinks the third time for good. I cannot be made like other folk, then for I would not like to write how often I went down or how often I came up again. (...) Both at least, I was; tired as I never was bevore that night; and grateful to God as I trust I have benn before, though never with more cause."

Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson
