Sextus Empiricus
“Skepticism relieved two terrible diseases that afflicted mankind: anxiety and dogmatism.”
Sextus Empiricus

Romano Guardini
“The idea that everyone is strong enough to bear immediate contact with God is false, and conceivable only by an age that has forgotten what it means to stand in the direct ray of divine power, that substitutes sentimental religious ‘experience’ for the overwhelming reality of God’s presence. To claim that everyone could and should be exposed to that reality is sacrilegious.”
Romano Guardini, The Lord

Frank Chodorov
“When people say 'let's do something about it', they mean 'let's get hold of the political machinery so that we can do something to somebody else.' And that somebody is invariably you.”
Frank Chodorov

David Bentley Hart
“Physics explains everything, which we know because anything physics cannot explain does not exist, which we know because whatever exists must be explicable by physics, which we know because physics explains everything. There is something here of the mystical.”
David Bentley Hart, The Experience of God : Being, Consciousness, Bliss

Michael Polanyi
“as human beings, we must inevitably see the universe from a centre lying within ourselves and speak about it in terms of a human language shaped by the exigencies of human intercourse. Any attempt rigorously to eliminate our human perspective from our picture of the world must lead to absurdity.”
Michael Polanyi, Personal Knowledge: Towards a Post-critical Philosophy
