The Opposite of Love is not hate, but power

The first demand any work of art makes upon us is to surrender. Look. Listen. Receive. Get yourself out of the way.

Chronological snobbery is the uncritical acceptance of the intellectual climate common to our own age and the assumption that whatever has gone out of date is on that account discredited. You must find why it went out of date. Was it ever refuted (and if so by whom, where, and how conclusively), or did it merely die away as fashions do? If the latter, this tells us nothing about its truth or falsehood.

To fight in another man's armour is something more than to be influenced by his style of fighting.

If you live for the next world, you get this one in the deal; but if you live only for this world, you lose them both.

If God thinks this state of war in the universe a price worth paying for free will...then we may take it it is worth paying.

Humility, after the first shock, is cheerful virtue.
