"Don't go where I can't follow!"

-- J. R. R. Tolkien

“It is faith alone that justifies, but faith that justifies can never be alone, though one is justified by faith alone, the faith which justifies is never in fact alone.”
“Music goes deeper than emotion into the energies that animate our psychic life.”
“I wish to be moved. I cannot feel in life. I must have others do it for me in theater.”

“Everyone, left to his own devices, forms an idea about what goes on in language which is very far from the truth.”
“Friends, companions, lovers, are those who treat us in terms of our unlimited worth to ourselves. They are closest to us who best understand what life means to us, who feel for us as we feel for ourselves, who are bound to us in triumph and disaster, who break the spell of our loneliness.”
“If the soul cannot find its jacket. it is condemned to an eternity of wandering--naked and alone”
“Pseudo-modernists pursue individual style because they know they cannot make a name without it; but if they had lived in the eighteenth century their sole object would have been to write correctly, to conform to the manner of the period.

“Even very progressive, informed people still get tongue-tied responding to the question, can organic and sustainably raised food still feed the world? A corollary to that question, and one we certainly hear a lot these days, is that genetically modified foods are better for the environment because they use fewer chemicals, which has been thoroughly debunked.”
