“There is so much we need in the past, so many spiritual forms, modes of prayer, devotion, of common life, that could help us revivify the love and service of God in the present. But they will help us only if we ‘lift them from the crushing weight of being the right answer’ which somewhere got lost and whose existence condemns whatever came after.” Charles Taylor


"You must know that there is nothing higher and stronger and more wholesome for life in the future than some good memory, especially a memory of childhood, of home. People talk to you a great deal about education. But some good, sacred memory preserved from childhood – that is perhaps the best education. For if a man has only one good memory left in his heart, even that may keep him from evil…And if he carries many such memories with him into life, he is safe for the end of his days." Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
