Quotation of the Day for October 24, 2011Dear Mr Clarke: Thank you very much for sending me copies of your two books: 1984: SPRING --- A CHOICE OF FUTURES and THE NINE BILLION NAMES OF GOD. Mr Jeff Greenwald was kind enough to bring these to me. Your short story titled "The Nine Billion Names of God" was particularly amusing. Once again, thank you for your thoughtful gesture. With prayers and good wishes, Yours sincerely, Dalai Lama - The Dalai Lama, from a 1997 letter to writer Arthur C. Clarke. Quoted in "From Narnia to A Space Odyssey: The War of Ideas Between Arthur C. Clarke and C. S. Lewis", edited by Ryder W. Miller. The short story is about Tibetan monks and can be read at http://downlode.org/Etext/nine_billion_names_of_god.html. Submitted by: Jeff Copeland Mar. 11, 2011  |
