| "The best thing for being sad," replied
Merlyn, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn
something. That is the only thing that never fails. You
may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie
awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins,
you may miss your only love, you may see the world about
you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour
trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one
thing for it then--to learn. Learn why the world wags and
what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can
never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by,
never fear or distrust, and never dream of
regretting." - The
Once and Future King, by T.H. White
