“The reason to read Blake and Dickinson and Freud and Dickens is not to become more cultivated or more articulate...

Mark Edmundson

“In man's struggle against the world, bet on the world.”

“Education is about finding out what form of work for you is close to being play—work you do so easily that it restores you as you go.”
