"Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself."
Sidenote: I'd generously say that I understood about 30% of what Joseph says in the book. Didn't make a difference, really.

What I understood from the culture around this story was that it was one of love, and romance. Well I believe those who created movies, songs, etc of this novel's contents were incredibly amiss in doing so and therefore misrepresent this story in it's entirety.
If you are nervous about 19th century novels like I was, I urge you to give this one a shot as it is absolutely an incredible story that I wish I had given a chance to sooner.
