Kegan: (looking at him with quiet wonder): You feel at home in the world, then?
Broadbent: Of Course. Don’t you?
Kegan (from the very depths of his nature): No.

		<description><![CDATA[People who insist on telling their dreams
are among the terrors of the breakfast table.
Max Beerbohm
At a dinner party I was seated next to a charming lady who had a professional interest in fantasies and fairy stories. This intrigued me at once because I really admire authors who can conjure up fantastic worlds, stories, and characters. [...]]]></description>

Oscar Wilde
The basement of a house, like the Freudian subconscious, is the place where we store all the things that we don’t want to remember right now, but that we can’t bear to throw away.
In preparation for a house move I was forced to clean [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All returns from vacation abroad begin to seem the same to me. There is the painfully early start to the day, made even earlier by the ludicrous security precautions: long lines, long lines, and yet more long lines. Then comes the long and tedious flight, breathing bad air, eating bad food, and trying to catch [...]]]></description>

One of the first things you see when driving out of Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris is a gigantic sports stadium – the monumental Stade de France. At the entrance to the stadium is the Place des Droits de l’Hommes – the square of the rights of man – which says [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Travel broadens the mind –
but first you must have the mind.”
G.K.Chesterton
Travel writers lead romantic lives. They explore the world at other people’s expense, and they don’t even need to invent their material. They simply describe the places they visit. Anybody can do that.
You know as well as I do that the above paragraph is nonsense, [...]]]></description>

It is an honor for me to speak to such a distinguished gathering as this – an honor, and a challenge too:  so much accumulated knowledge and experience, so much intelligence, so many hearing aids, and I must assume so much wisdom. [...]]]></description>

There are periods in life (sometimes they last for decades) when nothing much happens, in your head or anywhere else. This is one of those times.

		<description><![CDATA[“Reading Between the Lines” may be a lost art. It happens in university Departments of Literature, of course, where writers’ prose is bent apart by metaphorical crowbars so that the proper academic meanings can be inserted into it. Conspiracy theorists can find hidden meanings in a shopping list. But most of us, including me, just [...]]]></description>
