It's part of a writer's profession, as it's part of a spy's profession, to prey on the community to which he's attached, to take away information - often in secret - and to translate that into intelligence for his masters, whether it's his readership or his spy masters. And I think that both professions are perhaps rather lonely. ↗

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. ↗

Perhaps it is better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong. ↗

There is perhaps no surer mark of folly, than to attempt to correct natural infirmities of those we love. ↗
