«Were I to deduce any system from my feelings on leaving Eton, it might be called The Theory of Permanent Adolescence. It is the theory that the experiences undergone by boys at the great public schools, their glories and disappointments, are so intense as to dominate their lives and to arrest their development.

A society founded on signs is, in its essence, an artificial society in which man's carnal truth is handled as something artificial.»
