I have a rule that if Dr. Sowell writes it, it is worth my time to read it (that rule applies to no one else except Mark Steyn). However, as I grow older it is humbling to me that even Dr. Sowell’s random thoughts are clearer, more powerful and far more logical than my well thought out and “purposely arrived at” thoughts.
On the back cover of The Quest for Cosmic Justice, one of the reviewers (I can’t remember who) says something to the effect that “the ratio of insights to words is very high with Dr. Sowell”. How very true.
