But perhaps most of all, ideally, what is wanted is a comfortable background, a breathing space of intermission between the intensities of private life and the calculations of public life.”
—Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)

“Self-interest speaks all sort of languages, and plays all sort of roles—even that of disinterest.”
