“In the application of Satyagraha, I discovered, in the earliest stages, that pursuit of Truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one's opponent, but that he must be weaned from error by patience and sympathy.

“I enter a whorehouse with the same interest as I do the British museum or the Metropolitan - in the same spirit of curiosity. Here are the works of man, here is an art of man, here is the eternal pursuit of gold and pleasure. I couldn't be more sincere. This doesn't mean that if I go to La Scala in Milan to hear Carmen I want to get up on the stage and participate. I do not. Neither do I always participate in a fine representative national whorehouse - but I must see it as a spectacle, an offering, a symptom of a nation.” IfsMenWantMeanArtWisdomSpiritNationsInterestPleasureStageFineEternalGoldCuriosityBritishPursuitGet UpAustraliaSincereMuseumsOfferingRepresentativesSymptomsMilanMetropolitanBritish Museum Author:Errol Flynn
