  19. “Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined.

Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain.” ~ George Orwell

During the nighttime, people are terrified, people are filled with existential dreads. These fears aren’t baseless.” ~ Amos Oz

  30. “I can assure you that gay people getting married will have zero effect on your life. They won’t come into your house and steal your children.

Full-fledged American citizens just like everyone else, with the freedom to pursue happiness and all that entails.” ~ Chris Kluwe
  31. “The Prayer of Examine produces within us the priceless grace of self-knowledge. I wish I could adequately explain to you how great a grace this truly is. Unfortunately, contemporary men and women simply do not value self-knowledge in the same way that all preceding generations have. For us technocratic knowledge reigns supreme. Even when we pursue self-knowledge, we all too often reduce it to a hedonistic search for personal peace and prosperity. How poor we are! Even the pagan philosophers were wiser than this generation. They knew that an unexamined life was not worth living.” ~ Richard J. Foster

I even invented a Stonehenge soccer team that uses spaces between the stones as goals.” ~ Aleksandra Mir
