Reasonable Pleasures Quotes

“Hell is a consequence of one’s own free choice. It would not exist if free choice did not exist or, better, if free choice were not used badly. It is not imposed arbitrarily from the outside by pitiless gods but grows logically from inside a human soul. It is the result of someone’s making himself what he wants to be, not what God wants him to be.”
― James V. Schall, Reasonable Pleasures: The Strange Coherences of Catholicism
