I never told my own religion nor scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another's creed.

For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be judged.

I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think.

Anne Sullivan

But I think the real tension lies in the relationship between what you might call the pursuer and his quarry, whether it's the writer or the spy.
