Wendell Berry
“The big idea of education, from first to last, is the idea of a better place. Not a better place where you are, because you want it to be better and have been to school and learned to make it better, but a better place somewhere else. In order to move up, you have got to move on.”
Wendell Berry, Hannah Coulter

Kate Douglas Wiggin
“You seem to have an uncommon knowledge of young people. May I ask if you are, or have been, a teacher?" "Oh no!" Mrs Carey remarked with a smile, I am just a mother- that's all!”
Kate Douglas Wiggin, Mother Carey's Chickens

Louis A. Markos
“Behind Boromir's testimony lurks something else that our modern world is desperately in need of: a sense that we live in a meaningful universe where nothing is accidental and where an overruling providence moves things forward in accordance with a higher plan. This promises as well that history is not merely a succession of unrelated events ("one darn thing after another"), but that it too is imbued with meaning, purpose, and direction. And if both the universe and history are meaningful, then perhaps we are as well.”
Louis Markos, On the Shoulders of Hobbits: The Road to Virtue with Tolkien and Lewis

Robert Farrar Capon
“Women are like cheese strudels. When first baked, they are crisp and fresh on the outside, but the filling is unsettled and indigestible; in age, the crust may not be so lovely, but the filling comes at last into its own.”
Robert Farrar Capon, The Supper of the Lamb: A Culinary Reflection

Bess Streeter Aldrich
“You can't describe love, Kathie, and you can't define it. Only it goes with you all your life. I think that love is more like a light that you carry. At first childish happiness keeps it lighted and after that romance. Then motherhood lights it and then duty...and maybe after that sorrow. You wouldn't think that sorrow could be a light would you, dearie? But it can. And then after that, service lights it. Yes...I think that is what love is to a woman...a lantern in her hand.”
Bess Streeter Aldrich, A Lantern in Her Hand
