Nicholas Larkin

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses

“It is foolish to think that we will enter heaven without entering into ourselves.”
― St. Teresa of Avila

“America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.”
― Oscar Wilde
