Index Entry
"Christopher Morley was the greatest scholar I had known.
He was the editor of Bartlett’s Quotations; he was a comprehensive reader, and an editor of the Book-of-the-Month Club.
He gave himself very much to the other man. He had allegiance to his intuitions and to the universal phenomenon of love. Just ask a scientist to give you the difference between a stone and love. Science is absolutely wrong in thinking that the physical–all that chemistry lying there–is life, when it has nothing to do with what life is.
Christopher Morley loved life so much. He was courageous about being utterly metaphysical."
