Peter J. Leithart
“I do see Christ everywhere and in everything, as the One in Whom all things, including Western literature, consist. Shakespeare's plays are among the "all things" that Paul says are created "for Christ" (col. 1:16-17). If there is offense in taking Paul quite literally and pressing his global affirmation into crannies of the academy that would rather not hear from an apostle, it is an offense for which I cannot apologize. Pressing Paul's point is a straightforward and unavoidable demand of discipleship. (page 28)”

G.K. Chesterton
“-"And you that sit by the fire are young, And true love waits for you; But the king and I grow old, grow old, And hate alone is true." - Ballad of the White Horse: Book III. The Harp of Alfred”
