Meet Max Black (continued)
Max Black "notes, for instance, that in a study on wolves,
the implications of the metaphor 'Man is a wolf' will be
different than they might be in everyday discourse."
Alec Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins
in "The Edge" (1997)
From an obituary in today's New York Times—
"His daughter Jessamyn West said he was driven 'to understand everything.'
'He knew a million things — it didn’t matter:
worms, plumbing, literature. He could give you
a discourse. It seemed like he could never rest
until he had a sense of control over the things around him.'"
From "Meet Joe Black" (1998)—
“Should I be afraid?”
“Not a man like you.”

God was apparently not
available this week;
record producer Joel Dorn,
who died on Monday,
will have to do.
"… when you get the feel of it, and the record actually transports you back to that time, then it's a real explanation of what's going on… of what went on. And here I think you can– it's one thing to get the music, it's another thing to get the place and the people and the interaction. When it's really right, the audience is the fifth member of a quartet." —Joel Dorn

"Philosophers ponder the idea
of identity: what it is to
give something a name
on Monday and have it
respond to that name
on Friday."

The New York Times,

"Daddy's like
an old knight."
