“By perseverance, the snail reached the ark."

A. Nony Mouse.

 

"The joy of the intellectual life arises partly

from the search for truth,

toward which the thinking person turns as a flower to the sun."

Roger Scruton

"Living With a Mind" in First Things, December 2015.

 

"Truth is a threat to a culture created by the mass expression

of un-examined opinions and is best kept to the circle of those

for whom it really matters."

Roger Scruton

"Living With a Mind" in First Things, December 2015.

 

"In our permissive, non-judgmental culture,

it is still possible to move people toward sanity."

R.R. Reno

"While We're At It" in First Things,

August/September 2015.

 

"Christmas was the one time of year we would sing carols

and hear songs older than our parents, and so remains

an umbilical reference to a universe of traditional songs."

Brian Kaller

"Singing Lessons" in First Things, October 2014.

 

 

"We should emulate our ancestors

who knew the importance of fasting

not only from food and drink but also from noise and babble."

J. Budziszeweski

"Evangelizing Christians" in First Things, October 2014.

 

"Conceiving or building wakes the spirit. 

One need only contrast

a child drawing with a child idle

to be reminded that making new things

mysteriously multiplies energy."

Colin Moran

"Recovering Creativity" in First Things, December 2015.

 

"It is through their expression that your thoughts become clear.  The love of truth propels us toward the written word.  Through writing, a thought loses its vague quality and stands fully clothed in imagery and nuances."

Roger Scruton

"Living With a Mind" in First Things, December 2015.
