Is There Not Too Much Tension In

If I Had A Child Who Wanted To Be A Teacher, I Would Bid Him Godspeed As If He Were Going To War. For Indeed The War Against Prejudice, Greed, And Ignorance Is Eternal, And Those Who Dedicate Themselves To It Give Their Lives No Less Because They May Live To See Some Fraction Of The Battle Won.

I Dislike Organized Games, Swimming Pools, Fashionable Resorts, Night Clubs, Music In Restaurants, And Political Manifestoes; I Enjoy Driving From Coast To Coast, Good Food And Drink, A Few Friends, Dogs, The Theatre, Long Walks, Music And Free Conversation.
