Maximus the Confessor
“He who is not attracted by worldly things cherishes stillness. He who loves nothing merely human loves all men. And he who takes no offence at anyone either on account of their faults, or on account of his own suspicious thoughts, has knowledge of God and of things divine.”
St Maximos the Confessor

René Guénon
“Modern man, instead of attempting to raise himself to truth, seeks to drag truth down to his own level.”
René Guénon, The Crisis of the Modern World

Maximus the Confessor
“The demons that wage war on us through our shortcomings in virtue are those that teach unchastity, drunkenness, avarice and envy. Those that wage war on us through our excessive zeal for virtue teach conceit, self-esteem and pride; they secretly pervert what is commendable into what is reprehensible.”
St. Maximos the Confessor
