Dialogue this coming Wednesday November 13 at the Humainologie Gallery and Store

Our next dialogue starts at 6 PM this coming Wednesday November 13, at the Humainologie Gallery & Store, 1514 Seventh Street SW. I’ll suggest the topic of Life and Death. It’s the topic for one of the sections in a book of good quotes entitled 1001 Smartest Things Ever Said (edited and with an Introduction by Steven D. Price, 2004). I’ve selected a dozen quotations from many in that section. Pick one of your favorites here and tell us why you like that particular quotation.
