We read to know we are not alone.

We long for more and God's promise is that there is more awaiting us. More to delight us than we will ever exhaust.

If we continue to make moral judgements (and whatever we say shall in fact continue) then we must believe that the conscience of man is not a product of nature.

I prefer being honest to being 'honest to God.'

I have discovered that the people who believe most strongly in the next life do the most good in the present one.

To admire Satan [in Paradise Lost] is to give one's vote not only for a world of misery, but also for a world of lies and propaganda, of wishful thinking, of incessant autobiography.

Even in this world of course it is the stupidest children who are most childish and the stupidest grown-ups who are most grown-up.
