Quotations

"People talk about grandiose plans to "reshape the Middle East" at the moment, but to be honest I think it's more likely that, by the time this is over, it will just be more of the same except that Iran will now have the bomb." Philippe Lemoine

"God is a fire that warms and kindles the heart and inward parts. Hence, if we feel in our hearts the cold which comes from the devil – for the devil is cold – let us call on the Lord. He will come to warm our hearts with perfect love, not only for Him but also for our neighbour, and the cold of him who hates the good will flee before the heat of His countenance." St. Seraphim of Sarov

"The Stranger within my gate,
He may be true or kind,
But he does not talk my talk— I cannot feel his mind.
I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,
But not the soul behind."
Rudyard Kipling

“The horror of progress can only be measured by someone who has known a landscape before and after progress has transformed it.” Nicolás Gómez Dávila
