‘And seas and rivers mourn their sources dry;
‘When my old cassock,’ says a Welsh divine,
‘Is out at elbows, why should I repine?’

“The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It’s getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again. That’s how we know we’re alive: we’re wrong.”
Philip Roth
