Quotes

  • Patience is a narcotic for the weak.
  • I’ve watched human beings fool around with love. Love of self mostly, but also love of place, work, ideas; love of friends, of male and female, parent and child. I can’t think of any human illusions more comic than those of love.
  • One would think that the mere shortness of life would be a reminder that to destroy beauty is to destroy one’s own self too.
  • One doesn’t look for the small promises of an ethical revolution in the headlines: the ocean’s currents do not derive from the ocean’s tempests.
  • Maybe the schools have come to regard education as a sort of by-product, something it would be nice to have if it isn’t too much trouble.
  • “And where is your guarantee against war in that, Miles?”“There can’t be any except in human ethical maturity. A sensible political structure would help enormously, but there’s going to be risk of war so long as men think they can justify hating strangers and grabbing for power. Human hearts and minds are basic—the rest is mechanics.”
