"Children are spiritual as well as intellectual and emotional beings,

and omitting questions of belief is itself indoctrination of another kind."

Ashley Rogers

"The Case for Educational Pluralism" in First Things, December 2012

 

"Sometimes when you're open-minded, your brains fall out."

A. Nony Mouse

 

"Love is something sterner than the mild tolerance

that passes for love today."

Peter J. Leithart

"God's Politics" in Touchstone, March/April 2012.

 

"My dad would still be alive if he'd have hung around a while."

Germaine Jesberg

Quoted in the Victoria Gazette, February 1995.

 

"Truthfulness is judged differently than logic.  A statement is logical if it meets criterion of intellectual consistency, but the test of truth is pragmatic.  A truthful person keeps commitments."

Peter J. Leithart

"Truth on Logic" in Touchstone, July/August 2012.

 

"I don't have to lick my stamps.  I just wipe 'em across my chin."

Germaine Jesberg

Quoted in the Victoria Gazette, February 1995.

 

"That people find they're okay with an innovation their parents or grandparents would have viewed with horror doesn't mean they're right."

David Mills

"While We're At It" in First Things, November 2012.

 

"In the United States, public education means government-funded and government-delivered schooling, schooling that is supposedly ideologically neutral but in fact reflects

a progressive tradition strongly committed to beliefs

and to an educational philosophy rejected by many Americans."

Ashley Rogers

"The Case for Educational Pluralism" in First Things, December 2012.

 

"The logic of moral understandings is locked away in our souls. 

It's there, for example, when people are treated badly and they take offense and say, 'I don't like it and it's wrong.'"

Hadley Arkes

"Courage and Conversion" in Touchstone, March/April 2012.
