They say that faith is heard, not seen. Indeed there is something provocative about the spoken word which can rouse different emotions and thoughts, often simultaneously, or left suspended in the air for the mind to mull over. The human voice is arguably the oldest form of transmitting human knowledge, and it was so revered that even Plato allegedly bemoaned the introduction of written text as the very end of it.
I asked friends and colleagues to record some of their favorite passages in philosophy and literature. The purpose of which is to not only expose these thinkers and writers to broader audiences, but to hopefully bring smile or thought to enrich your day as we make it through the virus. It wasn’t for nothing that during the Great Plague in the early 17th century, Isaac Newton completed his work on calculus, shuttered in his house, left alone with his thoughts. He called it his Annus Mirabilis—Year of Miracles. It’s as fitting a title as any, for this series. Enjoy, and endure!
