15. “The best thing about being sad,” replied Merlin, beginning
to puff and blow, is to learn something. That is the only
thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in
your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the
disorder in your veins, you may miss your only love, you
may see the world devastated by evil lunatics, or know
your honor trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is
only one thing for it then-to learn. Learn why the world
wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the
mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured
by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting.
Learning is the thing for you.”
T.H. White (1996)
