More From Ian Mcewan

Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.

There's a lot of debate on this subject - about what kind of car handles best. some say a a front-engined car, some say a rear-engined car. i say a rented car. nothing handles better than a rented car. you can go faster, turn corners sharper, and put the transmission into reverse while going forward at a higher rate of speed in a rented car than in any other kind.

There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.

He walked out in the gray light and stood and he saw for a brief moment the absolute truth of the world. the cold relentless circling of the intestate earth. darkness implacable. the blind dogs of the sun in their running. the crushing black vacuum of the universe. and somewhere two hunted animals trembling like ground-foxes in their cover. borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it.

The discussion of the game of marbles seems to have led us into rather deep waters. but in the eyes of children the history of the game of marbles has quite as much importance as the history of religion or of forms of government. it is a history, moreover, that is magnificently spontaneous; and it was therefore perhaps not entirely useless to seek to throw light on the child's judgment of moral value by a preliminary study of the social behaviour of children amongst themselves.
