| This book was sometimes dense (as Hegel is) but also enlightening, particularly with how Hegel relates to moderns like Kant, Fichte, and Rousseau. Franco was surprisingly irenic to Hegel, despite being feminist and democratic, you could tell that he ...more | |
"Austen really hates how frivolous, stupid, silly, and selfishly prideful and prejudiced women are when left to their own devices without any discipline or persuasion from their fathers and husbands. And she’s really keyed into when wickedly ambitious"

Did you know that your Christianity was heavily influenced by a bunch of couples in California in the 1960s doing LSD evangelism? There is a huge chasm between the 1600s and 1900s, and right in the center of that transformation stand the Jesus People ...more |

“I was driven to Whipsnade one sunny morning. When we set out I did not believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, and when we reached the zoo I did. Yet I had not exactly spent the journey in thought. Nor in great emotion. “Emotional” is perhaps the last word we can apply to some of the most important events. It was more like when a man, after a long sleep, still lying motionless in bed, becomes aware that he is now awake.”

“who can duly adore that Love which will open the high gates to a prodigal who is brought in kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting his eyes in every direction for a chance of escape? The words compelle intrare, compel them to come in, have been so abused by wicked men that we shudder at them; but, properly understood, they plumb the depth of the Divine mercy. The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of man, and His compulsion is our liberation.”

“Before we can progress in providing answers . . . we have to repent of our questions.”
