Quote of the day
A talent is an ancient unit of weight and money. It is the heaviest one, worth about three thousand shekels. It is the root of the word that came to signify, in most of the languages ancient Phoenician ships could encounter, a human being’s unique gifts. The broader idea that gifts can be measured in money has a strong footing in a world where everything costs.
