How about...
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
Albert Einstein circa 1953
I found it in my book, called "E-MC2".
How'ma doin' ?...

I am OK, Katrina went far south of here and out into the gulf before turning north towards New Orleans. We were fortunate, but I still pray for those who were not so fortunate.
Thanks for asking.

It's not True Crime, but here's my contribution:
"I proposal myself that deplorably what I did," aforesaid Elave, "I was here came to. Now I have sunk to the knees and I doubt if I ooit zal leave."
"Oh you can your saving frankness have lost," aforesaid Anselm comfortably, "but if you are decrease. It is not in a your marsh words of other people. They keep never this way rapidly. You have to close the book only."
"Too late! There are things I have wanted now to know. How did the father and the zoon become firstly three? Who wrote firstly of them as three, to confuse us all? How there threecan be, already equal, that not yet three but een [insert reverse accents over the double e]?" zijn
"As three kwabben of clover the booklet three and, but has been united in one booklet," presented Anselm.
"And vier-leaved the clover, which brings luck? What is the fourth, man mensdom? Or we the tribe of threesome which allen?"
Shook Anselm its head concerning him, but with unperturbed sereniteit and a tolerant grijns, is. "Never write a book, zoon! You certain made would become to burn it!"

Hmmm. Father and Son are three, so I presume some discussion of the Trinity. Circa 1990...don't think it's Holy Blood, Holy Grail, that was 1980's...by chance is this from the book that made such a splash not long back about Mary Magdalene...ah, can't remember the title just now, darn it! Oh well, just let me know if I'm on the right track.
If you're thinking of The Da Vinci Code, you're cold.
I'll give you a couple more clues: the author was English, and one of the names in the conversation is of a rather major player in the mystery.
I hope that helps.

Anselm? If so, I'm lost. I have no clue who Anselm might be.
Guess I need to get my head out of the non-fiction stuff and read more fiction?

Is there anybody still playing? If so, should I post another clue? Sorry.

"I fancy that was what I was doing," said Elave ruefully, "until I came here. Now I'm bogged to the knees, and if I shall ever get out."
"Oh, you may have lost your saving innocence," said Anselm comfortably, "but if you are sinking, it's in a morass of other men's words, not your own. They never hold so fast. You have only to close the book."
"Too late! There are things I want to know now. How did Father and Son first become three? Who first wrote of them as three, to confuse us all? How can there be three, all equal, who are yet not three but one?"
"As the three lobes of the clover are three and equal but united in one leaf," suggested Anselm.
"And the four-leaved clover, that brings luck? What is the fourth, humankind? Or are we the stem of the threesome, that binds all together?"
Anselm shook his head over him, but with unperturbed serenity and a tolerant grin. "Never write a book, son! You would certainly be made to burn it!"
