"The best thing for being sad," replied Merlyn beginning to puff and
blow, "is to learn something. That is the only thing that never
fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie
awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss
your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil
lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds.
There is only one thing for it then -- to learn. Lean why the world
wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can
never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or
distrust, and never dream of regretting."
-- T.H. White, from The Once and Future King
