Elizabeth Goudge
“All of them. . . had seemed to live in a world where compassion was not necessary. He saw now that it the very first necessity, always and everywhere, and should flow between all men, always and everywhere. Men lived with their nearest and dearest and knew little of them, and strangers passing by in the street were as impersonal as trees walking, and all the while there was this deep affinity, for all men suffered.”
Elizabeth Goudge, The Dean's Watch

Rod Dreher
“religion has always understood that directing human attention toward what is holy is supremely important. This is why medieval Christendom was filled with prayers, rituals, fasts, and feasts: to keep life, both public and private, ordered around things divine.10”
Rod Dreher, The Benedict Option: A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation

Charles Dickens
“The misery with them all was, clearly, that they sought to interfere, for good, in human matters, and had lost the power forever.”
Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol: The Original 1843 Edition

Emmuska Orczy
“It came on me then how futile were our actions, if God chooses to interpose His will between us and our desires.”
Emmuska Orczy, The Collected Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel: Omnibus Edition of Sir Percy's Adventures

Rod Dreher
“Raise your kids to know that your family is different—and don’t apologize for it. It’s not a matter of snobbery. It’s about imbuing kids with the conviction that there are some things that people in our family just do not do—and that’s okay.”
Rod Dreher, The Benedict Option: A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation
