Flannery O'Connor
“The mind serves best when it's anchored in the Word of God. There is no danger then of becoming an intellectual without integrity...”
Flannery O'Connor, The Habit of Being: Letters of Flannery O'Connor

Flannery O'Connor
“I couldn't make any judgment on the Summa, except to say this: I read it for about twenty minutes every night before I go to bed. If my mother were to come in during this process and say, 'Turn off that light. It's late,' I with a lifted finger and broad bland beatific expression, would reply, 'On the contrary, I answer that the light, being eternal and limitless, cannot be turned off. Shut your eyes,' or some such thing.”
Flannery O'Connor, The Habit of Being: Letters of Flannery O'Connor

Pope Benedict XVI
“To be sure, it was not Easter Sunday but Holy Saturday, but, the more I reflect on it, the more this seems to be fitting for the nature of our human life: we are still awaiting Easter; we are not yet standing in the full light but walking toward it full of trust.”
Pope Benedict XVI, Milestones: Memoirs: 1927 - 1977

Josef Pieper
“And, of course, neither point of view should be confused with a conservatism that indiscriminately resists all innovation. Of course, this conservatism really exists, as everybody knows. More than that, it seems to belong to one of the so-to-speak natural categories of decadence and risks against which everyone who accepts and assents to sacred tradition as a basic reality of history as it really occurs must arm himself from the start.”
Josef Pieper, Tradition: Concept and Claim

T.S. Eliot
“We wait, we wait,
And the saints and martyrs wait, for those who shall be martyrs and saints.
Destiny waits in the hand of God, shaping the still unshapen:
I have seen these things in a shaft of sunlight.
Destiny waits in the hand of God, not in the hands of statesmen
Who do, some well, some ill, planning and guessing,
Having their aims which turn in their hands in the pattern of time.”
T.S. Eliot
