G.K. Chesterton

G.K. Chesterton

George MacDonald
“Past tears are present strength.”
George MacDonald, Phantastes

George MacDonald
“I learned that it is better, a thousand-fold, for a proud man to fall and be humbled, than to hold up his head in his pride and fancied innocence. I learned that he that will be a hero, will barely be a man; that he that will be nothing but a doer of his work, is sure of his manhood. In nothing was my ideal lowered, or dimmed, or grown less precious; I only saw it too plainly, to set myself for a moment beside it. Indeed, my ideal soon became my life; whereas, formerly, my life had consisted in a vain attempt to behold, if not my ideal in myself, at least myself in my ideal.”
George MacDonald, Phantastes: A Faerie Romance for Men and Women

J.R.R. Tolkien
“How shall a man judge what to do in such times?’ ‘As he ever has judged,’ said Aragorn. ‘Good and ill have not changed since yesteryear; nor are they one thing among Elves and Dwarves and another among Men. It is a man’s part to discern them, as much in the Golden Wood as in his own house.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers

G.K. Chesterton
“Men may keep a sort of level of good, but no man has ever been able to keep on one level of evil. That road goes down and down.”
G.K. Chesterton, The Innocence of Father Brown
