- I philosophise, drink beer, play guitar. Some days I run. Most days I rant. I teach Film and Culture and built fences, barns and kitchens. I am what I do.

One of my favourite bits in that book quotes a student of Benjamin Jowett, renowned Oxford scholar and notorious egotist:
“First come I; my name is Jowett
There’s no knowledge but I know it.
I am the Master of this College,
What I don’t know isn’t knowledge.”
