If you are a Christian, you are free to think that all these religions, even the queerest ones, contain at least some hint of the truth.

Those who would most scornfully repudiate Christianity as a mere "opiate of the people" have a contempt for the rich, that is, for all mankind except the poor.

The grave and the image are equally links with the irrecoverable and symbols for the unimaginable.

You never know what you can do until you try, and very few try unless they have to.

The Intelligentsia (scientists apart) are losing all touch with, and all influence over, nearly the whole human race. Our most esteemed poets and critics are read by our most esteemed critics and poets (who don't usually like them much) and nobody else takes any notice. An increasing number of highly literate people simply ignore what the 'Highbrows' are doing. It says nothing to them. The Highbrows in return ignore and insult them.

Friendship is...the sort of love one can imagine between angels.

It was not for societies or states, that Christ died, but for men.
