He was such an interesting and humane writer. My favorite quote from him, which I think is from one of his essay collections: > It does take great maturity to understand that the opinion we are arguing for is merely the hypothesis we favor, necessarily imperfect, probably transitory, which only very limited minds can declare to be a certainty or a truth.
