I wonder if it was something he said after the assassination of JFK -- I just
picked up his Kaddish (Symphony No. 3) and there are some quotes from a
speech he gave to the United Jewish Appeal on 11/25/63 (3 days later). One
of them is "[I]gnorance and hatred - the exact antonyms of Learning and
Reason." Apparently JFK's planned speech in Dallas said, "America's
leadership must be guided by learning and reason." The Kaddish was already
commissioned at the time of JFK's death, but was completed shortly thereafter
and dedicated to the "beloved memory" of JFK.
