A Fortunate Man: The Story of a Country Doctor by John Berger

5.0

"It is generally thought that common sense is practical. It is practical only in a short-term view. Common sense declares that it is foolish to bite the hand that feeds you. But it is foolish only up to the moment when you realise that you might be fed very much better. In the long-term view common sense is passive because it is based on the acceptance of an outdated view of the possible."
