| This is the second of Thurman's books that I picked up in the last few weeks, both of which I couldn't put down until I'd made it through. The title frame would be more accurate if it were reversed, I think: "The Disinherited and Jesus," because he i ...more | |

“The world needs people in touch with their humanity, their mortality, and place in the natural world. And for a million reasons, the world needs people who know how to have a good time for the hell of it. People who want to run through the hills because it’s breathtaking and swim in the cold ocean because it makes them feel alive.

So protect that sense of meaning - the world needs you.”
