John Henry Newman
“Of all points of faith, the being of a God is, to my own apprehension, encompassed with most difficulty, and yet borne in upon our minds with most power.”
John Henry Newman, Apologia Pro Vita Sua

Clive James
“In those days you matched a block of balsa against a rudimentary diagram and got going with a razor blade, which sliced your thumb as readily as it carved the balsa. If the result was recognizable as an aeroplane, you were an expert. If your thumb was recognizable as a thumb, you were a genius.”
Clive James, The Complete Unreliable Memoirs

William Langland
“In a somer seson whan soft was the sonne
I shope me in shroudes as I a shepe were,
In habite as an heremite vnholy of workes,
Went wyde in þis worlde wondres to here.”
William Langland, Piers Plowman: Selections from the B-text

Simon Raven
“Moralists of the sternest persuasion would readily agree with Horace that neither high birth nor clever words can recommend the soul in the face of final judgement. But then the poet puts in his hammer blow: '... non te restituet pietas.' Not virtue itself is going to be any help. All, in fact, is vanity: not only gold and silver, not only worldly fame and accomplishment, but duty, faith, and purity too. The highest moral character can procure one no preference among the shades.”
Simon Raven

Benjamin Franklin
“I think all the heretics I have known have been virtuous men. They have the virtue of fortitude, or they would not venture to own their heresy; and they cannot afford to be deficient in any of the other virtues, as they would give advantage to their many enemies; and they have not, like orthodox sinners, such a number of friends to excuse or justify them.”
Benjamin Franklin, The Autobiography and Other Writings
