 | Broadbent: … I find the world quite good enough for me - rather a jolly place, in fact. Keegan (looking at him with quiet wonder): You are satisfied? Broadbent: As a reasonable man, yes. I see no evils in the world - except of course, natural evils - that cannot be remedied by freedom, self-government and English institutions. I think so, not because I am an Englishman, but as a matter of common sense. Keegan: You feel at home in the world then? Broadbent: Of course, Don’t you? Keegan (from the very depths of his nature): No. |
This is the epigraph for Colin Wilson’s 1956 book The Oustider [Amazon]. I first learn about Wilsom’s book via Another Nickel In The Machine
