“Immanuel Kant is credited with saying, “If the stars came out only once in a lifetime, we’d stay up all that night.” Now we stay up late in Plato’s cave just to watch the enervated stars on The Tonight Show.”
William J. O'Malley, The WOW Factor: Bringing the Catholic Faith to Life

“The schools turn wonder into drudgery and uniqueness into aberration. Acceptance by the dulled others becomes worth almost any surrender, and nothing is worth the price of solitude: to read, to ponder, to paint, to pray. In the new Plato’s cave, we have the electronic shadows to make the unreal true and to give us an ersatz peace — even though every ad ever produced is deliberately formulated to make us unhappy.”
William J. O'Malley, The WOW Factor: Bringing the Catholic Faith to Life
