More Appealing Than Knowledge Itself Is The

A Best-seller Was A Book Which Somehow Sold Well Because It Was Selling Well.

The Hero Was Distinguished By His Achievement; The Celebrity By His Image Or Trademark. The Hero Created Himself; The Celebrity Is Created By The Media. The Hero Was A Big Man; The Celebrity Is A Big Name.

Probably No One Of Us Has The True Religion. But All Of Us Together - If We Are Allowed To Be Free - Are Discovering Ways Of Conversing About The Great Mysteries. The Pretense To Know All The Answers To The Deepest Mysteries Is, Of Course, The Grossest Fraud. And Any People Who Declare A Jihad, A Holy War On Unbelievers - Those Who Do Not Share Their Believers' Pretended Omniscience - Are Enemies Of Thinking Men And Woman And Of Civilization. I See Religion As Only A Way Of Asking Unanswerable Questions, Of Sharing The Joy Of A Community Of Quest, And Solacing One Another In Our Ignorance.

By Reading We Discover Our World, Our History, And Ourselves.

The Hero Was A Big Man; The Celebrity Is A Big Name.
