Our myths may be misguided, but they steer however shakily towards the true harbour, while materialistic 'progress' leads only to a yawning abyss and the Iron Crown of the power of evil.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien

It makes cynicism respectable and degeneracy chic. It abolishes our kind, and with it our kindness.”
― Roger Scruton, Face of God: The Gifford Lectures

― Fernando Ocariz Brana, Sobre Dios, la Iglesia y el mundo

“Real love is a long apprenticeship.”
