More From William Osler

There is what might be called a catch-22 of hazardous occupations: the more hazardous the job, the more men; the more men, the less we care about making the job safer. the catch-22 of hazardous occupations creates a 'glass cellar' which few women wish to enter. women are alienated not just out of the fear of being hurt on the job, but by an atmosphere that can make a hazardous job more hazardous than it needs to be.

I always find myself gravitating to the analogy of a maze. think of film noir and if you picture the story as a maze, you don't want to be hanging above the maze watching the characters make the wrong choices because it's frustrating. you actually want to be in the maze with them, making the turns at their side, that keeps it more exciting...i quite like to be in that maze.
Motivational Character Thinking
Imperialism has now reached a degree of almost scientific perfection. it uses white workers to conquer the non-white workers of the colonies. then, it hurls the non-white workers of one colony against those of another non-white colony. finally, it relies on the colored workers of the colonies to rule the white workers. recently, white french soldiers near mutiny in the occupied ruhr of germany, were surrounded by french african soldiers, and colored native light-infantry were sent against white german strikers.
White Light Perfection
Life's very difficult and full of surprises. at all events, i've got as far as that. to be humble and kind, to go straight ahead, to love people rather than pity them, to remember the submerged - well, one can't do all these things at once, worse luck, because they're so contradictory. it's then that proportion comes in - to live by proportion. don't begin with proportion. only prigs do that. let proportion come in as a last resource, when the better things have failed.
Humble People Luck
The novel has become a function of the fragmented society, the fragmented consciousness. human beings are so divided, are becoming more and more divided, and more subdivided in themselves, reflecting the world, that they reach out desperately, not knowing they do it, for information about other groups inside their own country, let alone about groups in other countries. it is a blind grasping out for their own wholeness, and the novel-report is a means toward it.
Country Mean Knowing
Burmese authors and artists can play the role that artists everywhere play. they help to mold the outlook of a society - not the whole outlook and they are not the only ones to mold the outlook of society, but they have an important role to play there. and i think if they take up this role seriously and link it to the kind of changes were wish to bring about in our country they could be a tremendous help.
