“The first thing I remember about the world — and I pray that it may be the last — is that I was a stranger in it.”

Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990) English journalist, author, media personality, and satirist

Apologia pro vita sua (1968)
Context: The first thing I remember about the world — and I pray that it may be the last — is that I was a stranger in it. This feeling, which everyone has in some degree, and which is, at once, the glory and desolation of homo sapiens, provides the only thread of consistency that I can detect in my life.
