Get up now and go and find Robert Kilroy-Silk. Smile in a warm, friendly sort of way, then punch him on the nose. Now go and find Robert on television, despite my best endeavours, this is still relatively easy to do. Wait for a close-up, same smile, and punch him on the nose.

On the one hand, you were suffused with a sense of public-spirited righteousness; on the other, you're probably dribbling blood.

If you use your mind to study reality, you won't understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you'll understand both.
