Dear All,
I shall not be teaching you TOK this term. Thank you for your company last term and I wish you well in the subject.
I leave you with another quote from 'Straight and Crooked Thinking' which has stuck in my mind for forty years or so.
'I am firm, thou art obstinate, he is pigheaded...'
Regards

Straight and Crooked Thinking
Dear All,
Seeing Ramya in Crossword reminded me to look this book up on Amazon. They have copies, but they are £20 plus (1600 Rs) plus postage.
However, the following quote has always stuck in my memory as characteristic of what the books is saying:
(1) 'Full on the casement shone the wintry moon,
Throwing warm gules on Madeleine's fair breast'
(2) 'Through the stained glass window the moonlight made red marks on Jane's chest'.
(3) 'There was an effect on the female's thorax caused by the selective transmission of light through pigmented glass'.
Happy New Year.
