  1. A quotation from Gracian

    A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.
     
    [Al varón sabio más le aprovechan sus enemigos que al necio sus amigos.]

    Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601–1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher
    The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 84 (1647) [tr. Jacobs (1892)]

  2. theguardian.com/commentisfree/. "The #British national (overseas) #visa route, opened on 31 January 2021, allows Hongkongers to come & stay in the UK... It’s seen as a success: as proof that the British #Government honours its commitment to those facing #political pressure in #HongKong. But now, with more high-profile #critics of the #Chinese #regime facing obstacles in the UK’s #immigration system, more doubt is being cast on whether the current government still takes the commitment seriously."

  3. As seen in the Toronto Star today in a column by Arts critic Joshua Chong:

    Nathan Cohen, the Star’s preeminent theatre critic in the 1960s, once gave this piece of advice to budding critics: “Remember that your opinions are worthless unless you provide supporting reasons. Every ignoramus has opinions and will say them gladly. Your opinions only mean something if you can explain them.”
