“Modern culture, then, is the worst in history at preparing its members for the only inevitability—death. When this limited meaning horizon comes together with the advance of medicine, it leaves many people paralyzed with anxiety and fear when confronted with a dying person.”
― Timothy J. Keller, On Death

“By destroying traditional social habits of the people, by dissolving their natural collective consciousness into individual constituents, by licensing the opinions of the most foolish, by substituting instruction for education, by encouraging cleverness rather than wisdom, the upstart rather than the qualified, by fostering a notion of getting on to which the alternative is a hopeless apathy, Liberalism can prepare the way for that which is its own negation: the artificial, mechanised or brutalised control which is a desperate remedy for its chaos.”
― T.S. Eliot, Christianity and Culture

“To be enchanted by story is to be granted a deeper insight into reality”
― Stratford Caldecott, Beauty in the Word

“Everything in this life is going to be taken away from us, except one thing: God’s love, which can go into death with us and take us through it and into His arms.”
― Timothy J. Keller, On Death
