“Sometimes I can almost think that I was sent back to the false gods there to acquire some capacity for worship against the day when the true God should recall me to Himself. Not that I might not have learned this sooner and more safely, in ways I shall now never know, without apostasy, but that Divine punishments are also mercies, and particular good is worked out of particular evil, and the penal blindness made sanative.”

“In Pantheism God is all. But the whole point of creation surely is that He was not content to be all. He intends to be ‘all in all’.”

“There was no region even in the innermost depth of one’s soul (nay, there least of all) which one could surround with a barbed wire fence and guard with a notice No Admittance. And that was what I wanted; some area, however small, of which I could say to all other beings, ‘This is my business and mine only.”

“If the parents in each generation always or often knew what really goes on at their sons’ schools, the history of education would be very different.”

“By not belonging to a press-cutting agency I miss most of the bouquets and brickbats which are aimed at me. So I never saw the article you write about. But I have seen others of that kind, and they’ll break no bones of mine. Don’t, however, misjudge these ‘liberal Christians’. They genuinely believe that writers of my sort are doing a great deal of harm. They themselves find it impossible to accept most of the articles of the ‘faith once given to the saints’. They are nevertheless extremely anxious that some vestigial religion which they (not we) can describe as ‘Christianity’ should continue to exist and make numerous converts. They think these converts will come in only if this religion is sufficiently ‘de-mythologised’. The ship must be lightened if she is to keep afloat.”
