I've discovered people I've never really met before: natural simple people. People who've made a decent shape out of their lives. And I'm coming to think they get their values straighter than people like us ever will have. Oh, I know we can talk more ingeniously, and we can out-argue them every time; and we can read books written by people like ourselves and make-believe that what we think of life, and what our writers think of life, is all life is.
