George Weigel
“As John Courtney Murray put it, the obligations of society and the state are “not coextensive with the wider and higher range of obligations that rest upon the human person (not to speak of the Christian)”. And thus “the morality proper to the life and action of society and the state is not univocally the morality of personal life, or even of familial life. . . The effort to bring the organized action of politics and the practical art of statecraft under the control of the Christian values that govern personal and familial life is inherently fallacious. It makes wreckage not only of public policy but of morality itself.”
George Weigel, The Fragility of Order: Catholic Reflections On Turbulent Times

“There is no relationship. Women, like men, women, children, babies hamsters.

This is the Google Translate of the quote in Persian, above.”

“Those who look for the bad in people will surely find it.”

“There is no reciprocity. Men love women. Women love children. Children love hamsters. Hamsters don't love anyone; it is quite hopeless.”
