Terror of Not Being Misunderstood
Last Modified on December 12, 2020I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age where only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in the terror of not being misunderstood. Don’t degrade me to a position of giving you useful information. Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
