Culled from years of patient research and fruitful introspection, his observations are bound to stimulate, challenge, and at times force upon the reader a shock of recognition grounded on timeless but at times obscured universal truths. Dr. Runes' word magic, now aphoristic, now cadenced and metaphorical, creates countless gems of wisdom, frequently poetic, often irresistibly quotable, always profoundly moving. A humanitarian theme evolved partly from personal tragedies permeates his lifelong search for "a life of God the Spirit and the Giver/(Of) God unbound and unencumbered/By hate or prejudice/A god to love by Deeds/Not hollow hymns and vows."PhilosophyReligionJudaismPhilosophy.Religion.Judaism.081Runes Dagobert D(Dagobert David),1902-1982,162412MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810392403321Handbook of reason3963704UNINA
