A quotation. I dipped into W L Warren's book about King John earlier, and came across this:
Men insist perhaps most firmly on the value of custom when instability and change threaten them most closely; and they are apt to insist most tenanciously of all when in fact they allow the tide of change to carry them along. It gives reassurance that they are moving purposefully, and are not merely adrift on an uncharted sea.
UPDATE: The next in this series of posts will not appear before this evening.
