Wendell Berry
“They learned to have a very high opinion of God and a very low opinion of His works—although they could tell you that this world had been made by God Himself. What they didn’t see was that it is beautiful, and that some of the greatest beauties are the briefest.”
Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow

G.K. Chesterton
“Men may keep a sort of level of good, but no man has ever been able to keep on one level of evil. That road goes down and down.”
G.K. Chesterton, The Innocence of Father Brown

Wendell Berry
“Prayer is like lying awake at night, afraid, with your head under the cover, hearing only the beating of your own heart. It is like a bird that has blundered down the flue and is caught indoors and flutters at the windowpanes. It is like standing a long time on a cold day, knocking at a shut door.”
Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow

G.K. Chesterton
“Ten thousand women marched through the streets shouting, 'We will not be dictated to,' and went off and became stenographers.”
G.K. Chesterton

G.K. Chesterton
“Man is more himself, man is more manlike, when joy is the fundamental thing in him, and grief the superficial. Melancholy should be an innocent interlude, a tender and fugitive frame of mind; praise should be the permanent pulsation of the soul.”
G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
