"'Selected Pearls of Wisdom' is not a necklace with gems monotonously matched to be a moment's ornament; it is rather a treasury of dazzling variety to be opened and rifled when one's purse is empty or one's spirit is starved for beauty." - Earl Marlatt, Professor of Philosophy of Literature, Boston University School of Theology.
