“Other than his ex-wife and despite appearances with a series of cultivated blondes, Edward de Bono has never publicly aligned himself with a woman. 'I’m looking for a fat, cross-eyed hunchback,' he explains, stifling a giggle. 'A prosthetic hump would do.' His delight evaporates when asked about his three grandchildren. 'Am I a doting grandfather?' He pauses. 'I’m a … something grandfather, yes.' The fact that De Bono remains unperturbed by this lack betrays an emotionally austere childhood, and his passions for play, toys, and bad jokes tell of the same deprivation.” PlayFactsPassionThreeWifeChildhoodJokesCrossesRemainsSeriesDelightAppearanceFatsDespiteBetrayToysGrandfatherPausesGrandchildrenExesDeprivationGiggleStiflingEx WifeProstheticsBad JokesHis Ex Author:Antonella Gambotto-Burke
“I do indeed disbelieve that we or any other mortal men can attain on a given day to absolutely incorrigible and unimprovable truth about such matters of fact as those with which religions deal. But I reject this dogmatic ideal not out of a perverse delight in intellectual instability. I am no lover of disorder and doubt as such. Rather do I fear to lose truth by this pretension to possess it already wholly.” MenMatterFactsGivenLosesDealsDoubtLoversIntellectualIdealsDelightMortalsRejectsDisorderRationalityMatter Of FactPretensionInstabilityDogmaticIncorrigible Book:The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature Source: The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature
