Quotes by David Skeel (?)

“Why do we experience beauty as transcendent yet somehow impermanent and corrupted, and suffering as somehow wrong, rather than simply a part of the natural order?”

“It was when I was happiest that I longed most,” the central character in C. S. Lewis’s novel Till We Have Faces says as she reflects on her encounters with beauty. “And because it was beautiful, it set me longing, always longing. Somewhere else, there must be more of it.”

“do we have a compulsion to devise elaborate ideas about our place in the universe? Why do we experience beauty as transcendent yet somehow impermanent and corrupted, and suffering as somehow wrong, rather than simply a part of the natural order? Why do the advocates of each new system of justice believe they can devise legal codes that will achieve a fully just social order, even though every previous system of justice has failed?”
― David Skeel, True Paradox: How Christianity Makes Sense of Our Complex World
