Christ likes us to prefer truth to him because, before being Christ, he is truth. If one turns aside from him to go toward the truth, one will not go far before falling into his arms. Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our real life. Obvious and inexorable oppression that cannot be overcome does not give rise to revolt but to submission. The future is made of the same stuff as the present.
All sins are attempts to fill voids.
Liberty, taking the word in its concrete sense, consists in the ability to choose. The joy of learning is as indispensable in study as breathing is in running. Where it is lacking there are no real students, but only poor caricatures of apprentices who, at the end of their apprenticeship, will not even have a trade. Used with permission. Our needle art kits are adapted from antique studies,enabling you to create Medieval tapestries, Victorian pillows or Acanthus rugs.
