An Ash Wednesday Examen

February 13, 2013April 19, 2017 Rabbit Trails

Two Thousand X One

“Through all this ordeal his root horror had been isolation, and there are no words to express the abyss between isolation and having one ally. It may be conceded to the mathematicians that four is twice two. But two is not twice one; two is two thousand times one. That is why, in spite of a hundred disadvantages, the world will always return to monogamy.”
― G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare

Madeleine L'Engle

Flannery O'Connor

How is this truly Satanic deceit possible? Romano Guardini
