“Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination.”
“Fascinating, Doidge's book is a remarkable and hopeful portrait of the endless adaptability of the human brain.”
“Like a cross between Paul Auster'sÂ The Book of IllusionsÂ and Janice Lee'sÂ Damnation,Â The Absolution of Roberto Acestes LaingÂ is at once smart and slyly unsettling. It is expert at creating a quietly building sense of dread while claiming to do something as straightforward as describe lost filmsâ€”like those conversations you have in which you realize only too late that what you actually talking about and what youÂ thinkÂ you are talking about are not the same thing at all. With Rombes, Two Dollar Radio deftly demonstrates why it is rapidly becoming the go-to press for innovative fiction.”
“Many priests say that retirement is more identified with freedom from meetings, budgets, personnel conflicts, and "dealing with the Chancery." Even as I struggled not to take that last point too personally, I was reminded that I have heard the same sentiment from many of my bishop friends as well!”
“Is it too much to expect from the schools that they train their students not only to interpret but to criticize; that is, to discriminate what is sound from error and falsehood, to suspend judgement if they are not convinced, or to judge with reason if they agree or disagree?”
“It is not scholarship alone, but scholarship impregnated with religion, that tells on the great mass of society. We have no faith in the efficacy of mechanic's institutes, or even of primary and elementary schools, for building up a virtuous and well conditioned peasantry, so long as they stand dissevered from the lessons of Christian piety.”

“Happiness is experienced largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor.”
“A Dauntless Ferris wheel wouldnâ€™t have cars. You would just hang on tight with your hands, and good luck to you.”
