Domestic Terrorism
I’ve posted some lines from literature on my website, brought to mind by the recent news. The minute I saw video of the US Capitol on January 6, I thought of the last quote, from a famous story that many of us remember being shocked by in school. Four Quote Friday - Domestic Terrorism

“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”
