people often felt the need to prepare a side of themselves to display to passers-by – as they might in a store window – and that such a display needn’t be taken so seriously once the moment had passed.

“Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful. —SAMUEL JOHNSON (1709–1784)”
R.T. Kendall, For an Audience of One: Seek the Praise That Comes from God Alone

Stuart Maconie
“What was so terrible about properly funded hospitals, student grants, decent working conditions, affordable houses, trains that ran for convenience not profit, water that poured from the tap whose function was to slake your thirst not to make shareholders a dividend. What exactly was so wicked about public libraries, free eye tests and council houses? We may be coming to realise that the people who complain about the nanny state are the people who had nannies.”
Stuart Maconie, The Nanny State Made Me: A Story of Britain and How to Save it

Frank Cottrell Boyce
“Today, I live in France. We have been made utterly welcome by our French neighbours, who, if the subject arises, can only scratch their heads in utter bemusement at why we would want to leave this union. I try to explain, but in order to really understand, you have to be British. Or rather, not British, but a certain English sort – that peculiar, insular, self-aggrandising mentality that cannot see past the White Cliffs of Kent. I have never understood that,”
Frank Cottrell Boyce, A Love Letter to Europe: An outpouring of sadness and hope – Mary Beard, Shami Chakrabati, Sebastian Faulks, Neil Gaiman, Ruth Jones, J.K. Rowling, Sandi Toksvig and others

A.W. Tozer
“Mere wisdom … [makes] us hard and cold, but wisdom set on fire with love and energized by power [through the Holy Spirit] will enable us to bless the world.”
A.W. Tozer, Tozer on the Holy Spirit: A 365-Day Devotional

“In some respects modern journalism has lost its way. The need for speed has damaged the culture of thoughtful reporting. And we have sadly confused the lofty concept of balance with equivalence. Put simply, we place too much importance on giving equal time to contrasting views without any consideration of whether either of the views merits the time allocated.”
Trevor McDonald, An Improbable Life: The Autobiography
