about the find:

This clipping from another book was taped to the first page of this book. It reads:

‘For he insists that we must look at the world as it is, not as we would like it to be. His standpoint is that of Bishop Butler: “Things and actions are what they are, and the consequences of them will be what they will be. Why then should we wish to be deceived?”’

That one's a bit strange!

I just can't figure out why anyone would do this. It beats me. Such a weird quote.

Maybe it was taped there by the "he" that the clip is talking about? Don't know.
