“A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it.”
G. K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man
“Some day an absolutely correct verdict—if you like, a perfect critique—will be passed on what each of us is. We shall not only believe, we shall know, beyond doubt in every fibre of our appalled or delighted being, that as the Judge has said, so we are: neither more nor less nor other. We shall perhaps even realize that in some dim fashion we could have known it all along. The unanswerable and (by then) self-evident truth about each will be known to all.”
C. S. Lewis, The World’s Last Night
“We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.”
John Henry Newman
“And because of the increase in lawlessness, the love of most will grow cold.”
Matthew 24:12
