There is no triumph of good, and if there were it would not be a triumph of good.

for most of us the space between 'dreaming on things to come' and 'it is too late, it is all over' is too tiny to enter.

They are universal places, like churches, hallowed meeting places of all mankind.

All our failures are ultimately failures in love.

Education doesn’t make you happy. Nor does freedom. We don’t become happy just because we’re free – if we are. Or because we’ve been educated – if we have. But because education may be the means by which we realize we are happy. It opens our eyes, our ears, tells us where delights are lurking, convinces us that there is only one freedom of any importance whatsoever, that of the mind, and gives us the assurance – the confidence – to walk the path our mind, our educated mind, offers.
