"Much of education has shifted its primary purpose

from imparting knowledge to inculcating 'proper' attitudes,

turning moral questions into political issues."

James Hitchcock

"The Welfare Snare" in Touchstone, May/June 2012.

 

"Reading allows us to see with other eyes,

to imagine with other imaginations, to feel with other hearts, as well as with our own."

       C.S. Lewis

quoted by James M. Kuishiner for Touchstone, August 2012.

 

"Training the young to love the beautiful

was intimately associated with teaching them

to submit to the order of goodness and truth."

Ken Myers

"Musical Measures" in Touchstone, May/June 2012.

"The power of music to shape the soul -- for good or ill --

is a function of music's participation in the cosmic order. 

In rhythms and tunes there are likenesses

close to the natures of anger and gentleness, courage and

moderation, and other things pertaining to the character,

and so we are altered in soul."

Ken Myers

"Music Measures" in Touchstone, May/June 2012.

 

"Unless I am humble, I will not condescend to learn." 

Anthony Esolen

"Learning vs. Deep Folly" in Touchstone, May/June 2012.

 

"Humility by its very nature is generous and free,

opening the heart to the wonder of what lies beyond the self, while pride hardens the heart

and brings along a similar sclerosis of the intellect."

Anthony Esolen

"Learning vs. Deep Folly" in Touchstone, May/June 2012.

 

"We must keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries

blowing through our minds to help blow out the errors,

and this can be done by reading old books."

C.S. Lewis

quoted in "Claustrophobia of the Now" in Touchstone, May/June 2012.

 

"Only the dullest doesn't see that the cold hand

of the aggressively secular government has a deep hostility against traditional Christianity."
