Quoted by Brian Appleyard, looking for feedback:
I am, periodically, going to put various quotations on this blog. They will be taken from my current reading. I shall not comment. The idea is that you should. Each one will be headline ‘Discuss’. It is possible this will help me with a book I am writing and equally possible that it will not. It is important you do not know the subject of this book. Here is the first.
“
…regarding ourselves as complex machines need not diminish our feelings of self-respect and should enhance our sense of responsibility.
