Dan Leeson's quote, reproduced below, is also one of my favorites
(perhaps because Bach and Mozart are my favorite composers). To give
credit where it is due, I have always believed that the Swiss theologian
Karl Barth was the source of this quote. Any confirmation or correction
would be appreciated!
