Summary

This quote highlights the ignorance and narrow-mindedness of the governor regarding language and education. By suggesting that English should be sufficient for everyone because Jesus spoke it, he fails to recognize the importance of cultural diversity and inclusivity. This statement undermines the value of multilingualism and disregards the importance of respecting different languages and cultures within society. It demonstrates a lack of understanding and appreciation for the benefits that come with embracing linguistic diversity.

There are several ways to react to being lost. One is to panic: this was usually Valentina's first impulse. Another is to abandon yourself to lostness, to allow the fact that you've misplaced yourself to change the way you experience the world.

Every one is a genius, more or less. No one is so physically

Every one is a genius, more or less. No one is so physically sound that no part of him will be even a little unsound, and no one is so diseased but that some part of him will be healthy -- so no man is so mentally and morally sound, but that he will be in part both mad and wicked; and no man is so mad and wicked but he will be sensible and honourable in part. In like manner there is no genius who is not also a fool, and no fool who is not also a genius.
