"Humility is a rare virtue and an unfashionable one and one which is often hard to discern. Only rarely does one meeet somebody in whom it positively shines, in whom one apprehends with amazement the absence of the anxious avarious tentacles of the self... The humble man, because he sees himself as nothing, can see other things as they are.... The humble man perceives the distance between suffering and death. And although he is not by definition the good man perhaps he is the kind of man who is most likely of all to become good."

Jerry, to spend a day with three good people, clearly a very good thing indeed.
