If we had this back, and in full measure; if society were infused by it, through and through, and men lived its life, and in its life, philosophy would take care of itself and the nature of our institutions would not matter. ↗

It's weird: The leader of the Conservative Party in England is two years younger than me, and I still don't really feel like a responsible adult. ↗
