I Am Not Hamlet

From Beyond the Shattered Image : In the Greek Father's view, however, the image of God in humanity lay in its specific value of freedom.  The human person must be associated with, and not dissociated from, the created world; for, it is through the human person that the created world must be transformed and offered to God.  And so the world is freed from its natural limitations and becomes a bearer of life.                                                                                        --John Chryssavgis

"Wisdom may cry at the gates, but man is too busy at the mall to hear."      --Anthony Esolen

If we are to have a democracy at all, it seems obvious that we must have a State populated not by anonymous economic units, but by men and women who can know, and be known by, one another.  The anonymous man is in a sense no man at all.   --Willis Fisher, "Small-Town Middle-Westerner" from Who Owns America?
