Out Into The Beautiful World

Theodore Dalrymple

0/5 ( ratings)

When I was a young man I thought that metaphysics was the most exciting thing in the world. I wish now that I had not wasted so much time on the imponderable questions of metaphysics but had used it to more worthwhile effect. Rather than study philosophy, I should have studied insects.

In the little essays that follow, I have no grand theory to prove, no single message to convey. Small things and slight occurrences have caught my attention and caused me to reflect a little. I hope only to please the reader.

— Theodore Dalrymple
