David Magarshack speaking about Dostoyevsky's writing:
"First of all, his amazing truthfulness in the description of life. Secondly, his masterly delineation of character and the social conditions of his heroes. Thirdly, his profound understanding and his wonderful artistic recreation of the tragic side of life."Philip Schaff describing the influence of Platonism on some Christians:
"In a time of inward distraction and dissolution the human mind hunts up old and obsolete systems and notions, or resorts to magical and theurgic arts."Timothy Ware on Protestantism:
"Protestantism was hatched from the egg which Rome laid."John Erickson describing the Church:
"The thrust even of the New Testament's political imagery is eschatological: the Church is that chosen race, royal priesthood and holy nation foretold by the prophets for the last times (1 Peter 2:9). The accent is on fulfillment. If the Church can be described as a perfect society, this is not because of a constitution laid down long ago by its Founder but because it effectively participates in the ultimate realities that it signifies. In other words, the Church is not just a horizontal community; it is also a vertical communion."Trash Can Sinatras:
"If I were a millionaire, I'd be a million miles from here...yeah yeah yeah."Posted by jeremy stock at March 30, 2002 02:14 AM
