How should we begin to make amends for raising a generation obsessed with the pursuit of material wealth and indifferent to so much else?

History always happens to us and nothing ever stays the same.

I don't much mind being expelled from communities.

Social democracy does not represent an ideal future; it does not even represent the ideal past.

I was born accidentally. I lived accidentally in London. We nearly migrated to New Zealand. So much of my life has been a product of chance, I can't see a meaning in it at all.

I know exactly how and where I am going to die. The only question is when.

But I'm English. We don't do uplifting.
