I have students who are now in chairs in five continents. They invite me to their inaugurals. A tremendous reward.
George SteinerThere would be no history as we know it, no religion, no metaphysics or aesthetics as we have lived them, without an initial act of trust, of confiding, more fundamental, more axiomatic by far than any โsocial contractโ or covenant with the postulate of the divine. This instauration of trust, this entrance of man into the city of man, is that between word and world.
