guy heroic home life meet save search truth

This was the tricky bit. The really tricky bit, trickiness cubed.
scotland enlightenment may
I just read an 800-page history of the Scottish Enlightenment and, honestly, I may as well just start it again now, because I cannot remember a single thing. I can barely remember where Scotland is.
ease introspection
I never was someone who was at ease with happiness.
beautiful sports climbing
There's an undeniable pleasure in stepping into an open-top sports car driven by a beautiful woman. It feels like you're climbing into a metaphor.
