More quotes by T. H. White
He was neither clever nor sensitive, but he was loyal--stubbornly sometimes, and even annoyingly and stupidly so in later life.
T. H. White
A lot of brainless unicorns swaggering about and calling themselves educated just because they can push each other off a horse with a bit of a stick! It makes me tired.
T. H. White
Learn 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. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.
T. H. White
Cavall came simply, and gave him his heart and soul.
T. H. White
Aviators live by hours, not by days.
T. H. White
It is a pity that there are no big creatures to prey on humanity. If there were enough dragons and rocs, perhaps mankind would turn its might against them. Unfortunately man is preyed upon by microbes, which are too small to be appreciated.
T. H. White
You run a grave risk, my boy, said the magician, of being turned into a piece of bread, and toasted.
T. H. White
The best thing for being sad ... is to learn something.
T. H. White
It is good to put your life in other people's hands.
T. H. White
Life is too bitter already, without territories and wars and noble feuds
T. H. White
Believe me, the so-called primitive races who worshipped animals as gods were not so daft as people choose to pretend. At least they were humble. Why should not God have come to the earth as an earth-worm? There are a great many more worms than men, and they do a great deal more good.
T. H. White
Mordred and Agravaine thought Arthur hypocritical—as all decent men must be, if you assume that decency can’t exist.
T. H. White
It seems, in tragedy, that innocence is not enough.

Kay was older and bigger than the Wart, so that he was bound to win in the end, but he was more nervous and imaginative. He could imagine the effect of each blow that was aimed at him, and this weakened his defense. Wart was only an infuriated hurricane.
T. H. White
Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.
T. H. White
If people reach perfection they vanish, you know.
T. H. White
Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically--to those who hardly think about us in return.
T. H. White
It is the bad people who need to have principles to restrain them.
T. H. White
I think I ought to have some eddication,said the Wart, I can't think of anything to do.
T. H. White
[Kay] was not at all an unpleasant person really, but clever, quick, proud, passionate and ambitious. He was one of those people who would be neither a follower nor a leader, but only an aspiring heart, impatient in the failing body which imprisoned it.
T. H. White
