Why Chosen
E.O. Wilson wrote in his book, Letters to a Young Scientist, "The ideal scientist thinks like a poet and only later works like a bookkeeper. Keep in mind that innovators in both literature and science are basically dreamers and storytellers." The writings of C.S. Lewis, especially his fictional work, like the allegorical/suppositional style in which he wrote The Great Divorce, cultivate my imagination and grow my passions, even as an adult.
