...in which our undaunted binary hero risks everything in a desperate attempt to establish contact with the outside world.

If you love, you will suffer. The only way to protect yourself against suffering is to protect yourself against love — and that is the greatest suffering of all, loneliness.

Peter Kreeft

One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.

Joan of Arc (via catholic-inspiration)

(via moochiethinks)

As we should be genuinely sorry for tramps and paupers who are materially homeless, so we should be sorry for those who are morally homeless, and who suffer a philosophical starvation as deadly as physical starvation. Not only is it true that some of the most modern philosophers are only trying to prove that we cannot have a philosophy; it is even more true that the most modern among the physical scientists are only trying to prove that science is not physical. It would be even truer to say that some of them are trying to prove that science is not science. For science is only an old word for knowledge; and knowledge is exactly what some of the new scientists say we can never obtain.

G.K. Chesterton: ‘All I Was Saying.’

Once I focused on my faith wonderful things started happening for me. And I don’t mean professionally - that’s not what it’s about. These days, I’ll be in church and people will come up to me and say: ‘Do you mind if I sit and pray with you?’ And they’ll start praying and it’ll turn out they’re praying for their new movie to be a success or whatever, and I’m like, this is not what I come here for. For me to sit down and ask for material things is ridiculous. It’s a much bigger picture than that. I want to serve God and to be a good human being and to make up for the mistakes I made and the pain I put people through. That’s what I’m praying for, and I recommend it to anybody.

Mark Wahlberg on his Catholic faith (via becket)

First of all, if you want to write, write. And second, don’t do it. It’s the loneliest, most depressing work you can do.

Walker Percy (via light-essence)

Humanity, its dignity and its balance, will depend at every moment and on every place on the globe, on who man is for woman and who woman is for man.

Blessed John Paul II 

(via moochiethinks)

Man is always something worse or something better than an animal; and a mere argument from animal perfection never touches him at all. Thus, in sex no animal is either chivalrous or obscene. And thus no animal invented anything so bad as drunkeness – or so good as drink.

G.K. Chesterton: “All Things Considered”

“I am going to hold a pistol to the head of the Modern Man. But I shall not use it to kill him–only to bring him to life.”

G.K. Chesterton, in Manalive

(If you ever saw the movie Fight Club, this is a similar scene - reenacted for copyright reasons - to the “murder” in Manalive)

I don’t want a religion that accepts me for who I am. I know who I am and am unimpressed. I want a religion that calls me to be better than I am even as I resist it.

Matthew Archbold (via deigratia21)

I would not consider any spirituality worthwhile that wants to walk in sweetness and ease and run from the imitation of Christ.

Saint John of the Cross (Ascent of Mount Carmel, II, 8)

Secularism is like a flat glass of beer on a warm day.

Fr. Benedict Groeschel (via jerm4papa)

(via ephremhiphop)

At it’s best our age is an age of searchers and discoverers, and at it’s worst, an age that has domesticated despair and learned to live with it happily.

Flannery O’Connor

(via moochiethinks)

Reason is itself a matter of faith. It is an act of faith to assert that our thoughts have any relation to reality at all.

G.K. Chesterton (via compilationofquotes)

(via acceptandembrace)

There are two kinds of people in the world, the conscious dogmatists and the unconscious dogmatists. I have always found myself that the unconscious dogmatists were by far the most dogmatic.

G. K. Chesterton (via firstbreath90)
