Quote of the Day (Jacques Barzun, on Life and the ‘Speechless Real’)


"If it were possible to talk to the unborn, one could never explain to them how it feels to be alive, for life is washed in the speechless real."— French-American cultural historian and educator Jacques Barzun (1907-2012), The House of Intellect (1959)
