"Our anthropologist substituted in his own version: ' I believe in people and people believe in God.'

After a long suffering sigh-Yes. I read & liked Snow a bit so read this one as a follow up. It was tedious. He didn't deserve the Nobel-Its ONLY my POV.

TeeHeee!! Don Quixote-he with a passion for windmills,tilting at!!

Its probably my jaundiced eye...but why are old authors so much more quotable?!

"The difference between and the rest of the world?! Happiness is not good enough for me! I demand euphoria!"

@Calvin and Hobbes,

"I'd never given much thought to how I would die – though I'd had reason enough in the last few months – but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this."

"Get busy living or get busy dying"
The author borrowed it from elsewhere and gave it a slight twist
