Today, Nov. 22, is the 40th anniversary of the death of philosopher and novelist C. S. Lewis, whose passing was overshadowed by the dramatic events that day in Dallas, Texas. A quote of the day:
"Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality."
Today also marks 40 years since the passing of novelist Aldous Huxley ("Brave New World"), who was thought-provoking in a way that is, well, different from C. S. Lewis.
"Experience teaches only the teachable." "Facts do not cease to exist just because they are ignored." "Maybe this world is another planet's hell."Posted by Alan at November 22, 2003 11:59 PM
