God Save Us From People Who Mean

I Don't Pick And Choose Subjects Or Settings; They Pick And Choose Me.

I Tend To Follow A Scattershot Approach To Reading A Lot Of Very Diverse Subjects Interest Me, And I'm Quite Happy To Read Stuff On Any Of Them.

I Simply Seem To Drift. But I Sort Of Allow The Drift, Because It Has A Kind Of Check - It Forces Me To Work Harder At What I'm Interested In.

I Am Certainly Not Allergic To Causes - Particularly On Subjects Such As Religious Intolerance.

Behind Every Door On Every Ordinary Street, In Every Hut In Every Ordinary Village In This Middling Planet Of A Trivial Star, Such Riches Are To Be Found. The Strange Journeys We Undertake On Our Earthly Pilgrimage, The Joy And Suffering We Taste Or Confer, The Chance Events That Leave Us Together Or Apart, What A Complex Trace They Leave: So Personal As To Be Almost Incommunicable, So Fugitive As To Be Almost Irrecoverable.
