I’m now adding a quotation that has made me think or that I’ve picked up during the week and the blog by Bryony Shannon brought this to mind for me - not least how we interpret the language we see (see ‘Words that make me go hmmm - below).

Quote of the week

"‘Each case is other; each decision is different and requires an absolutely unique interpretation. That line from Derrida should be posted on the top of the chart of every patient in every hospital." (John D. Caputo, Hermeneutics)
