“He traced the slight rise and fall of the earth as if he were stroking the skeletal ribs of a hungry dog. He knew that this was where his sense of reality came from. If he were honest with himself, that was just as absurd as any of Laurie’s beliefs. Still, he felt it so keenly and so very personally that he could neither question this communion nor share it with anyone else. This was his private faith.”

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
