Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort
“God the Holy Ghost, being barren in God—that is to say, not producing another Divine Person—is become fruitful by Mary, whom He has espoused. It was with her, in her, and of her that He produced His Masterpiece, which is God made Man, and that He goes on producing daily, to the end of the world, the predestinate and the members of the Body of that adorable Head. This is the reason why He, the Holy Ghost, the more He finds Mary, His dear and inseparable spouse in any soul, the more active and mighty He becomes in producing Jesus Christ in that soul, and that soul in Jesus Christ.”
Louis de Montfort, True Devotion to Mary: With Preparation for Total Consecration

Kenneth Minogue
“The search for liberation is a rejection of the responsibilities of freedom in favour of a release into the irresponsibility of rights.”
Kenneth Minogue, On Liberty and Its Enemies: Essays of Kenneth Minogue

Marshall McLuhan
“An age in rapid transition is one which exists on the frontier between two cultures and between conflicting technologies. Every moment of its consciousness is an act of translation of each of these cultures into the other. Today we live on the frontier between five centuries of mechanism and the new electronics, between the homogeneous and the simultaneous. It is painful but fruitful. The sixteenth century Renaissance was an age on the frontier between two thousand years of alphabetic and manuscript culture, on the one hand, and the new mechanism of repeatability and quantification, on the other.”
Marshall McLuhan, The Gutenbery Galaxy

Morgan Housel
“Risk is what’s left over when you think you’ve thought of everything.”
Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money

Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort
“Unless the grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single grain and does not bear any good fruit. We must die to self and our holiest devotions must lead us to this necessary and fruitful death. Otherwise, we shall not bear fruit of any worth and our devotions will cease to be profitable. All our good works will be tainted by self-love and self-will. Our greatest sacrifices and our best actions, then, will be unacceptable to God.”
Louis de Montfort, Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary
