Mortimer J. Adler
“The tremendous pleasure that can come from reading Shakespeare, for instance, was spoiled for generations of high school students who were forced to go through Julius Caesar, As You Like It, or Hamlet, scene by scene, looking up all the strange words in a glossary and studying all the scholarly footnotes. As a result, they never really read a Shakespearean play.”
Mortimer J. Adler, How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading

“Someone has said that 'the saints consecrate the world,' and this is true. But they do more than this, as Raoul Plus points out: It is the saints who preserve the world. They are the true, the only conservatives in the sense that the world owes its preservation to them. They are also the true, the only liberals in the best sense of that abused word, the magnanimous, great-souled people whose minds are big enough to include heaven and whose hearts are large enough to hold all the world -- plus God.”
Cardinal John J. Wright

C.S. Lewis
“Ransom was by now thoroughly frightened—not with the prosaic fright that a man suffers in a war, but with a heady, bounding kind of fear that was hardly distinguishable from his general excitement: he was poised on a sort of emotional watershed from which, he felt, he might at any moment pass either into delirious terror or into an ecstasy of joy.”
C.S. Lewis, Out of the Silent Planet

Walter M. Miller Jr.
“Sincere--that was the hell of it. From a distance, one's adversaries seemed fiends, but with a closer view, one saw the sincerity and it was as great as one's own. Perhaps Satan was the sincerest of the lot.”
Walter M. Miller Jr., A Canticle for Leibowitz

G.K. Chesterton
“Poetry is sane because it floats easily in an infinite sea; reason seeks to cross the infinite sea, and so make it finite. The result is mental exhaustion. To accept everything is an exercise, to understand everything a strain.”
G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
