a seabird once told me,

• "If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."
• Beauty is not democratic; she reveals herself more to the few than to the many…
• The true enjoyments must be spontaneous and compulsive and look to no remoter end.
• We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God.
• "'Safe?' said Mr. Beaver...'Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. but he's good. He's the King, I tell you.'"
• "Every story of conversion is the story of a blessed defeat."
• Sleeping on a dragon's hoard with greedy, dragonish thoughts in his heart, he had become a dragon himself."
• "Prostitutes are in no danger of finding their present life so satisfactory that they cannot turn to God: the proud, the avaricious, the self-righteous, are in that danger."
• If naturalism were true then all thoughts whatever would be wholly the result of irrational causes. It cuts its own throat
