Roots

Text of the day: “Oh yes, we turn on the radio or a TV maybe, or we go to the pictures — if them’s love stories or gangsters — but isn’t that the easiest way out? Anything as long as we don’t have to make an effort. Well, am I right? You know I’m right. Education ent only books and music — it’s asking questions, all the time. There are millions of us, all over the country, and no one, not one of us, is asking questions, we’re all taking the easiest way out.” (Beatie in Arnold Wesker’s Roots)
