“It takes moral courage to grieve, but it takes religious courage to rejoice.”
- Soren Kierkegaard (1813 – 1855), Danish philosopher and theologian: attributed by Jonathan Sacks in “The Times” (London), 1998.
“Don’t mock the rap-artist: envy him. A rap-artist is definitely the thing to be. As well as the affection, reverence and erotic perks traditionally due to the musician, he is also accorded the status of poet, philosopher, dissident and redeemer. Nobody ever had it so good.”
- Martin Amis (b. 1949), British author: in the “Evening Standard” (London), 1989, reprinted in “Visiting Mrs. Nabakov”, 1993.
