My word, isn't he the literatus? It's almost a pity that their kid shall soon become quite extinct.

My friend, the new generation of thinkers defining the intellectual landscape for the next century and beyond shall not be these weak-willed and ineffective men of letters, but rather the scientest! Gould, Hawking, Feynman, all good pioneers in their fields, now as never before, write and publish for the common man.

A Brief History of Time is the beginning of a glorious nature; the Da Vinci Code, a relic of a dying past. Red, a world about to dawn! Black, the night that ends at last!
