- Recently found these two quotes in The Week (my favorite weekly catch-up on what's happening in the rest of the world)
- If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one to record the event on YouTube, does it still make a sound?
E Jane Dickson in The Independent
- You can bear almost anything if you work hard. It's the ancient thing of stoicism, acceptance of what lies beyond one's control. With self-mastery and courage, you can live nobly.
A C Grayling - philosopher, writer and human-rights activist
- Just finished reading The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes, marvellous quick read: beautiful writing and an interesting ending which I'm still trying to make sense of......
Cheers
