"But this was that view of human destiny which she had most passionately hated and rejected: the view that man was ever to be drawn by some vision of the unattainable shining ahead, doomed ever to aspire, but not to achieve.

"We're not playing some minor game in Scientology. It isn't cute or something to do for lack of something better.

I lived in a world of inscrutable hostiles and inalienable friends and supporters."
