Thought for the Day
“Death is not the greatest loss in life.
The greatest loss is what dies inside us
while we live.”
~ Norman Cousins
*Norman Cousins
Born June 24, 1915 Union City, New Jersey
Died November 30, 1990 Los Angeles, California
An American political journalist, author, professor, and world peace advocate.
Politically, Cousins was a tireless advocate of liberal causes, such as nuclear disarmament and world peace, which he promoted through his writings in Saturday Review. In a 1984 forum at the University of California, Berkeley entitled “Quest for Peace,” Cousins recalled the long editorial he wrote on August 6, 1945, the day the United States dropped the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. Titled “The Modern Man is Obsolete,” Cousins, who stated that he felt “the deepest guilt” over the bomb’s use on human beings, discussed in the editorial the social and political implications of the atomic bomb and nuclear power. He rushed to get it published the next day in the Review, and the response was considerable, as it was reprinted in newspapers around the country, and enlarged into a book that was reprinted in different languages.
