Anne:
You have a bad habit of quoting. As I never know the context or author, I find it humiliating.
Denis:
It's the fault of one's education. Things somehow seem more real and vivid when one can apply somebody else's ready-made phrase about them. And then there are lots of lovely names and words--Monophysite, Iamblichus, Pomponazzi; you bring them out triumphantly, and feel you've clinched the argument with the mere magical sound of them. That's what comes of the higher education.
Anne:
You may regret your education, I'm ashamed of my lack of it. Look at those sunflowers! Aren't they magnificent?
