City of Saints Quotes

“Poland was a reminder to the world that there is more to history and power than brute force; the human spirit can bend the course of history in nobler directions. Culture drives history, over the long haul.”
― George Weigel, City of Saints: A Pilgrimage to John Paul II's Kraków

“our lives are best understood, and our sorrows are best borne, when they are recognized as “playing” within a drama that God himself entered, in the person of his Son, so that the human drama might become, through the redemption, a divine comedy, not a cosmic tragedy or absurdity.”
― George Weigel, City of Saints: A Pilgrimage to John Paul II's Kraków
