“While the game of deadlocks and bottle-necks goes on, another more serious game is also being played. It is governed by two axioms.

“I asked a girl who came from America to England, when I was only English, and she admitted she had been to a drama school. And I said, "What did they teach you?" And she said, "They taught me to be a candle burning in an empty room." I'm happy to say she was laughing while she said it, but she meant it.
