“Film has offered adventure, hope, fantasy, and escape for those of us encased in poverty, limitation, and quiet desperation.”
― David Thomson, How to Watch a Movie

“Silence is not an absence. On the contrary, it is the manifestation of a presence, the most intense of all presences. In modern society, silence has come into disrepute; this is a symptom of a serious, worrisome illness. The real questions of life are posed in silence. Our blood flows through our veins without making any noise, and we can hear our heartbeats only in silence.”
― Robert Cardinal Sarah

“This fight is not ours. The trumpet call is the sanctus bell that gently rings out. In that silent moment we rally to our Lord Jesus Christ, who is now present and hidden in the holy and venerable hands of the priest. Although widely spread, in that precious and spotless Host we are called together both to fight and to find peace.”
― Taylor R. Marshall, Infiltration: The Plot to Destroy the Church from Within

“If there remains any overriding idea it is that ideas are a problem. If there is any remaining commonly held value judgement it is that value judgements are wrong. If there remains any remaining certainty it is a distrust of certainty. And if this does not add up to a philosophy it certainly adds up to an attitude: shallow, unlikely to survive any sustained onslaught, but easy enough to adopt.”
― Douglas Murray, The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam
