Grey is the devil's favorite color.

Put the Protestant flint and the Catholic steel together, and you will kindle a fire that will burn all around the world.

The closer we are to God, to divine attributes - such as absolute truth, goodness, and beauty - the more we wonder.

The Enlightenment was basically the narrowing of our vision to a purely scientific, empirical, rationalistic worldview, screwing down the manhole covers on us so we became squinting underground creatures.

There are also two Christianities in the world today. There is (1) the Christianity of the New Testament, and there is (2) the Christianity of accommodation to modernism, egalitarianism, niceness, naturalism, pop psychology, secular humanism, relativism, subjectivism, individualism, "Enlightenment" rationalism or postmodern irrationalism. New converts to the first Christianity are constantly amazed and scandalized by finding many of their clergy to be in love with the second and in fear of the first.

This is what Karl Stern called "the flight from woman."
