"We have now sunk to the depth where the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men." ~ George Orwell.
"We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him." ~ C.S. Lewis.
The grain of truth is this: If you live apart from the Redeemer, then truth will seem fragmented because you won't be able to make sense of things. If you live apart from the Redeemer, then personality will seem fragmented because you won't know who you really are. And if you live apart from the Redeemer, then life really will seem fragmented because you will be unable to grasp its meaning and may simply give up trying." ~ J. Budziszewski.
"There once was in man a true happiness, of which all that now remains is the empty print and trace. This he tries in vain to fill with everything around him, seeking in things that are not there the help he cannot find in those that are, though none can help, because the infinite abyss can be filled only with an infinite and immutable object; in other words, by God himself." ~ Blaise Pascal.
"You cannot make men good by law: and without good men you cannot have a good society." ~ C.S. Lewis.
"Moral character is assessed not by what a man knows but by what he loves." ~ St. Augustine.
"Anything inconsistent with reason wounds us." ~ Pierre Nicole.
"We have an incapacity for proving anything which no amount of dogmatism can overcome. We have an idea of truth which no amount of scepticism can overcome." Pascal's Pensees, 406/395.
"My, how dogmatic you are about your skepticism!" ~ Peter Kreeft.

The three most crucial questions for the 21st Century are: (1) Will the "West" sever or recover its roots?; (2) Will Islam modernize peacefully?; (3) What worldview will replace Marxism in China? ~ Os Guinness

Consider the following statement by Os Guinness:
"By our uncritical pursuit of relevance we have actually courted irrelevance; by our breathless chase after relevance without a matching commitment to faithfulness, we have become not only unfaithful but irrelevant; by our determined effort to redefine ourselves in ways that are more compelling to the modern world than are faithful to Christ, we have lost not only our identity but our authority and our relevance. Our crying need is to be faithful as well as relevant." Prophetic Untimeliness: A Challenge to the Idol of Relevance, 15.
