In man's life, the absence of an essential component usually leads to the adoption of a substitute. The substitute is usually embraced with vehemence and extremism, for we have to convince ourselves that what we took as second choice is the best there ever was.

If there is a distinction in suffering we search for martyrdom as for hidden treasure.

In the next week or two this House, the nation and the Right Honourable Lady herself, will learn of what metal she is made.
