Great line from a French philosopher

Just read an article about Jacques Maritain, who found himself in a sort of exile from France during WWII. (In America) He aided the Allied effort by giving radio addresses to France and by writing books which the Army Air Corps airdropped over his home country. Writing to a friend about it, he said, “You can imagine thus my philosophy falling from Heaven!”

Apropos of nothing, really, but there was a man who knew how to seize an opportunity for a great one-liner.

“all persons, living and dead, are purely coincidental and should not be construed. No names have been changed to protect the innocent, since God Almighty protects the innocent as a matter of Heavenly routine.”
— K. Vonnegut

AND

“when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro”
—HST

You mean “HST” right? :wink:
