In reference to the quote question by Mr. Greer (on 30 Sept 2009) below, Don Blas Vivar said this to Lieutenant Sharpe in Sharpe’s Rifles. Just read it. Loved it! Scott Stoeckle Q: I had my wife write the following quote from one of your books and can’t remember which it came from: “Reason is the mathematics of thinking, nothing more. You don’t live your life by such dry disciplines. Mathematics cannot explain God, no more can reason, and I believe in God! Without Him we are no more than corruption.” Yates C. Greer A: I wrote that? Honestly, I don’t remember. Maybe someone else can? I have a suspicion someone else wrote it. Scott Stoeckle
