Jacques Maritain
“Authentic Christianity has a horror of the pessimism of inertia. It is pessimist, profoundly pessimist in the sense that it knows that the creature comes from nothingness, and that all that issues from nothing essentially tends of itself to return to nothing: but it's optimism is incomparably deeper than it's pessimism; for it knows that the creature comes from God, and all that comes from God tends to return to Him.”
Jacques Maritain, True Humanism

Jacques Maritain
“The definition of Christian art is to be found in its subject and its spirit. Everything, sacred and profane, belongs to it. God does not ask for “religious” art or “Catholic” art. The art he wants for himself is Art, with all its teeth.”
Jacques Maritain, Art and Scholasticism With Other Essays

Jacques Maritain
“We do not need a truth to serve us, we need a truth that we can serve”
Jacques Maritain, The Degrees of Knowledge

Jacques Maritain
“If books were judged by the bad uses man can put them to, what book has been more misused than the Bible?”
Jacques Maritain

Jacques Maritain
“In periods when shallow speculation is rife, one might think that metaphysics would shine forth, at least, by the brilliance of its modest reserve. But the very age that is unaware of the majesty of metaphysics, likewise overlooks its poverty. Its majesty? It is wisdom. Its poverty? It is human science.”
Jacques Maritain
