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.

[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
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
It seems, in tragedy, that innocence is not enough.
T. H. White
They made me see that the world was beautiful if you were beautiful, and that you couldn't get unless you gave. And you had to give without wanting to get.

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
You run a grave risk, my boy, said the magician, of being turned into a piece of bread, and toasted.
T. H. White
Education is experience, and the essence of experience is self-reliance.

In war, our elders may give the orders...but it is the young who have to fight.
T. H. White
Those who lived by the sword were forced to die by it.
T. H. White
Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically--to those who hardly think about us in return.
