More From Rose Macaulay

An employer has no business with a man's personality. employment is a specific contract calling for a specific performance... any attempt to go beyond that is usurpation. it is immoral as well as an illegal intrusion of privacy. it is abuse of power. an employee owes no "loyalty," he owes no "love" and no "attitudes" - he owes performance and nothing else. .... the task is not to change personality, but to enable a person to achieve and to perform.

London owes everything to its press: it owes as much to its press as it does to its being the seat of government and the law.

Love as a passion—it is our european specialty—must absolutely be of noble origin; as is well known, its invention is due to the provencal poet-cavaliers, those brilliant, ingenious men of the "gai saber," to whom europe owes so much, and almost owes itself.
Passion Men Europe
This society in which knowledge workers dominate is in danger of a new "class conflict" between the large minority of knowledge workers and the majority of workers who will make their livings through traditional ways, either by manual work... or by service work. the productivity of knowledge work - still abysmally low - will predictably become the economic challenge of the knowledge society. on it will depend the ability of the knowledge society to give decent incomes, and with them dignity and status, to non knowledge people.
Class Giving People
The endless cycle of idea and action, endless invention, endless experiment, brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; knowledge of speech, but not of silence; knowledge of words, and ignorance of the word. all our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, all our ignorance brings us nearer to death, but nearness to death no nearer to god. where is the life we have lost in living? where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? where is the knowledge we have lost in information? the cycles of heaven in twenty centuries bring us farther from god and nearer to the dust.

Nothing puts a greater obstacle in the way of the progress of knowledge than thinking that one knows what one does not yet know.
Ignorance Thinking Progress
Whoever will imagine a perpetual confession of ignorance, a judgment without leaning or inclination, on any occasion whatever, hasa conception of pyrrhonism.
Ignorance Judgment Imagine
We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. this is a prescription for disaster. we might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.
Motivational Education Ignorance
In the form of the oeuvre, the actual circumstances are placed in another dimension where the given reality shows itself as that which it is. thus it tells the truth about itself; its language ceases to be that of deception, ignorance, and submission. fiction calls the facts by their name and their reign collapses; fiction subverts everyday experience and shows it to be mutilated and false.
