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.' ~ Terence Hanbury White
