The best thing for being sad ... is to learn something.
T. H. White
Aviators live by hours, not by days.
T. H. White
You could not give up a human heart as you could give up drinking. The drink was yours, and you could give it up: but your lover’s soul was not your own: it was not at your disposal you had a duty towards it.

My boy, you shall be everything in the world, animal, vegetable, mineral, protista, or virus, for all I care-before I have done with you-but you will have to trust my superior backsight. The time is not yet ripe for you to be a hawk... so you may as well sit down for the moment and learn to be a human being.

You run a grave risk, my boy, said the magician, of being turned into a piece of bread, and toasted.

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.

I am an anarchist, like any other sensible person. ~ Merlyn
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
Those who lived by the sword were forced to die by it.
T. H. White
The miracle was that he had been allowed to do a miracle. And ever, says Mallory, Sir Lancelot wept, as he had been a child that had been beaten.
T. H. White
Middle-aged people can balance between believing in God and breaking all the commandments without difficulty.
T. H. White
The destiny of man is to unite, not to divide.
T. H. White
The Destiny of Man is to unite, not to divide. If you keep on dividing you end up as a collection of monkeys throwing nuts at each other out of separate trees.
T. H. White
It seems, in tragedy, that innocence is not enough.
T. H. White
Kings can only use their best tools.
T. H. White
If people reach perfection they vanish, you know.
T. H. White
The most difficult thing in the world is to know how to do a thing and to watch someone else do it wrong without comment.
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.
