Whenever all men are...hastening to be slaves or tyrants we make Liberalism the prime bogey.

The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike...Unless we return to the crude and nursery-like belief in objective values, we perish.

The perfect church service would be one we were almost unaware of. Our attention would have been on God.

The change which the writing wrought in me (and of which I did not write) was only a beginning; only to prepare me for the gods' surgery. They used my own pen to probe my wound.

Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water...If I find in myself a desire, which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

Hatred obscures all distinctions.

We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito.
