Robertson Davies, The Rebel Angels

"Energy and curiousity are the lifeblood of universities; the desire to find out, to uncover, to dig deeper, to puzzle out obscurities, is the spirit of the university and it is a channelling of that unresting curiousity that holds mankind together." (86-7)

"God's a rum old joker, Clem, and we must never forget it." (101)
