Personal

Beautiful

This week I'm staying in Prague at the Masarykova hostel. I think it was named after T.G.Masaryk, who was the President of Czechoslovakia in the 1920s. For a while I've been working through a biography of Masaryk... one sentence in the introduction stands out:

The greatest praise [Masaryk] can give is to call someone "a beautiful person". There is an ancient, classical quality to those words.

And all the time I'm in Prague working with the fella that coined the term BHP.
