Quotes

It has often been said, and certainly not without justification, that the man of science is a poor philosopher.

Albert Einstein

In every culture in history, the saints, who most resemble Christ, give the most offense . . . because all cultures, like all individuals, are fallen and sinful, in many different ways.

Peter Kreeft
