Quotes by Ralph C. Wood

“[I]f you live today you breathe in nihilism. In or out of the Church it's the gas you breathe. If I hadn't had the Church to fight it with or to tell me the necessity of fighting it, I would be the stinkingest logical positivist you ever saw right now”
― Ralph C. Wood, Flannery O'connor And The Christ-Haunted South

“to shrink the circle of intimate community to the smallest possible circumference. This is the spoiling of faithful friendship.”
― Ralph C. Wood, The Gospel According to Tolkien: Visions of the Kingdom in Middle-Earth

“Tolkien reveals that our personalities take on the quality of our acts. Outward behavior manifests inward convictions, whether for good or ill. "The good man out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure produces evil; for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks" (Luke 6:45).”
― Ralph C. Wood, The Gospel According to Tolkien: Visions of the Kingdom in Middle-earth
