To be Hellenistic was not to be Greek; Hellenization was sui generis - it was a true synthesis of Greek and Near Eastern into something new.
“Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.”

“God made us: invented us as a man invents an engine. A car is made to run on petrol, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other. That is why it is just no good asking God to make us happy in our own way without bothering about religion. God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there.”
