[Magdalen] An odd moment

[John Robison]

My Pocknee came from my Seminary library. It was about to go on the sale
table when the Liturgy Professor handed it to me and said “Take it. You’re
the only one here who’d know what to do with it.”

"Among the repulsions of atheism for me has been its drastic
uninterestingness as an intellectual position." - John Updike

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life:
The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that
often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading
to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with
the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."  ~John Rogers
