David Brooks talks about society - The Monday Morning Memo

“If there is anything that the writer has learned from Amanda (and he must confess to having learned a measure), it is that the fullness of existence embodies an overwhelmingly intricate balance of defined, ill-defined, undefined, moving, stopping, dancing, falling, singing, coughing, growing, dying, timeless and time-bound molecules – and the spaces in between. So complex is this structure, and so foolishly simple, the historian’s tools will not fit it: they either break off and go dumb in the scholar’s hands or else pierce right through the material leaving embarrassing rents difficult to mend.”

- Tom Robbins, Another Roadside Attraction, p. 114
