More From Thomas Guthrie

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
It is thus that mutual cowardice keeps us in peace. were one half of mankind brave and one cowards, the brave would be always beating the cowards. were all brave, they would lead a very uneasy life; all would be continually fighting; but being all cowards, we go on very well.
Fighting Brave Coward
Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. we don't want yellow cowards in this army. they should be killed off like rats. if not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. the brave men will breed more brave men. kill off the goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.

Some people are cowards... i think by and large a third of people are villains, a third are cowards, and a third are heroes. now, a villain and a coward can choose to be a hero, but they've got to make that choice.

Immortality—dazzling idea! who first imagined thee! was it some jolly burgher of nuremburg, who with night-cap on his head, and white clay pipe in mouth, sat on some pleasant summer evening before his door, and reflected in all his comfort, that it would be right pleasant, if, with unextinguishable pipe, and endless breath, he could thus vegetate onwards for a blessed eternity? or was it a lover, who in the arms of his loved one, thought the immortality-thought, and that because he could think and feel naught beside!—love! immortality!
Death Summer Blessed
Some pirates achieved immortality by great deeds of cruelty or derring-do. some achieved immortality by amassing great wealth. but the captain had long ago decided that he would, on the whole, prefer to achieve immortality by not dying.

I have neither the learning nor the experience to know whether the doomsayers are right about the human causes of climate change. but i am willing to acknowledge that people who know a lot more than i do may be right when they claim that it is the consequence of our own behaviour. i assume that this is why the bbc's coverage of the issue abandoned the pretence of impartiality long ago.

All of this happened a long time ago. but not so long ago that everyone who played a part in it is dead. some can still be met in dark old rooms with nurses in attendance.
