To study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.
Think of submitting our measure to the advice of politicians! I would as soon submit the subject of the equality of a goose to a fox.
When I go to the clinic next and sit with a tube in my arm and watch the poison go in I'm in an attitude of abject passivity. It doesn't feel like fighting at all it just feels like submitting.
I really owe everything to my parents and their devotion and drive to see to it that their children had the education which led to the opportunities that they never were able to have.
