"And, lo, the star which they had seen in the East

went before them,

till it came to rest over the place where the Child was."

Matthew 2:9

 

"It will not suffice to correct a mistaken principle

when the people can no longer reason from principles.

You cannot redirect a lost people when they have no direction."

Anthony Esolen

"Mission Nary Impossible" in Touchstone,

January/February 2015.

 

"Art intended to bother people is not justified

in the appeal to freedom of expression common in sociopaths, exhibitionists, and university art departments."

S. M. Hutchens

"Art and Effrontery" in Touchstone,

November/December 2015.

 

"All true art is derivative, and all good art is classical,

because all a rational man can desire as beautiful

is in-formed by what is higher than, and outside of, himself."

S. M. Hutchens

"Art and Effrontery" in Touchstone,

November/December 2015.

 

"Great art takes a world that is arbitrary and haphazard

and molds and reshapes it into a world that runs more perfectly

in accordance with higher laws of balance and harmony and necessity."

Louis Markos

"Divine Collections" in Touchstone,

September/October 2015.

 

"Hospitality is more important now than ever.

As more and more of Christian culture is banned

from public life, the only place some people may ever encounter it is in Christian homes."

Rebecca Sicree

"Salvaging Christmas" in Touchstone/December 2015.

 

"We celebrate more because of our faith, not less."

Rebecca Sicree

"Salvaging Christmas" in Touchstone/December 2015.

 

"To lose ourselves in the beauty of the dance

is to be lifted out of our mundane and seldom graceful world

into a higher plane of existence where earth and air

and the forces of gravity respond to our touch

rather than dragging and beating us down."

Louis Markos

"Kinds of Hobbies" in Touchstone,

September/October 2015.
