Reason is the very best tool kit. Nothing beats reason for keeping tigers away. But be excessively reasonable and you risk throwing out the universe with the bathwater.
--Pi Patel
Without the church the world would have no history. Such a claim is not just a "confessional" stance but the most determinative realist claim Christians can possibly make. --Stanley Hauerwas
quips
Merry and tragical? Tedious and brief?
That is, hot ice and wondrous strange snow.
How shall we find the concord of this discord?
--Thesus, Duke of Athens
Odi et amo. quare id faciam, fortasse requiris. nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior. --Catullus
I’m sorry, but in order to be in control, you have to have a definite plan for at least a reasonable period of time. So how, may I ask, can man be in control if he can’t even draw up a plan for a ridiculously short period of time, say, a thousand years, and is, moreover, unable to ensure his own safety for even the next day?
--Woland (The Devil)
orisons
Therefore we, before him bending, this great Sacrament revere;
types and shadows have their ending, for the newer rite is here;
faith, our outward sense befriending, makes our inward vision clear.
--S. Thomas Aquinas
So hope y to haue of hym þat is almighty
A gobet of his grace, and bigynne a tyme
That alle tymes of my tyme to profit shal turne.
--William Langland
