“The ceaseless, senseless demand for original scholarship in a number of fields, where only erudition is now possible, has led either to sheer irrelevancy, the famous knowing of more and more about less and less, or to the development of a pseudo-scholarship which actually destroys its object. ”
― Hannah Arendt

“You cannot let your parents anywhere near your real humiliations.”
― Alice Munro, Open Secrets
