The notion that we can have a single, totally consistent way of being is both idealistic and unhealthy.”

happy, to ‘draw out that which is within’, as the root meaning of the word ‘educate’ commands, is almost entirely absent. Let alone any sense that we plebs
should contemplate participating in the governing of the country.”
