Quotation | Doing violence to myself to read Regamey's book on non-violence because I need it. A lot of it is arid and plodding but here and there one comes across good stuff. Gives the impression that he is saying more than is necessary in order to make it all "acceptabl" and ends by being diffuse and trite. He would have done it all much more effectively in 50 pages of aphorisms - but who ever heard of a Dominican doing that? |
