There is only one way to escape from an impasse, and that is to turn back to the point where you went wrong, sit down on the ground and have a think about it.
Long extract from the argumentative Germaine Greer: I’ve read a bit about Oz and some mention of it has appeared on these pages, but have never been there — yet.

And the painful but obvious logic of sitting down — the moment you realize you’ve lost your way — and working out how to get back to it resonates all too well in these chaotic times.
