More Jeeves!



"What-ho, Jeeves!"  I said, entering the room where he waded knee deep in suitcases and shirts and winter suitings, like a sea-beast among rocks.  "Packing?" 

"Yes, sir," answered the honest fellow, for there are no secrets between us.

Life is Beautiful

I really like that song!  After seeing October Baby when it first came out in theatres, I had only one comment...



Larry totally captures it all ;-)!!!!  (It's true, though.  I came out of the theater crying like a baby...  Shhhh... Don't tell...)



"I Will Carry You..."

"Unhappy the audacious soul which hoped that by abandoning you it would find some better thing!  It tossed and turned upon back and side and belly — but the bed is hard, and you alone are rest.  And here you are, to deliver us from our wretched wanderings and set us in your way, and you comfort us and say, 'Run, I will carry you and I will lead you home, and there I will carry you.' [Isaiah 46:4]"

- Confessions, St. Augustine, [6.16.26]

Opportunities



"You are the heir of all the centuries in literature, in art, in science, in commerce, and in every avenue of achievement.  True, the world is full of temptations and opportunities for evil, as it always was, but it is full of far greater opportunities, far more multiplied chances for good.  If you choose to invest your life as you should, you have a field of sublime excellence for that investment." 

-Fr. Edward F. Garesche,  The Catholic Book of Character and Success

Till We Have Faces - C. S. Lewis



     "The Gods have been accused by you. Now's their turn."
     "I cannot hope for mercy."
     "Infinite hopes - and fears - may both be yours.  Be sure that whatever else you get, you will not get justice."
     "Are the gods not just?"
     "Oh no, child.  What would happen to us if they were?" 

Lack of Post

We're having technical difficulties on this end, so please don't mind us if we don't post very regularly for a little while!

Martyrs Are Willing



"You are the new recruit? All right, you are engaged."
"I really have no experience..."
"No one has any experience of the battle of Armageddon."
"But I'm really unfit..."
"You are willing, that is enough."
"Now, really, I know of no occupation for which mere willingness is the final test."
"I do. Martyrs. I am sending you to your death. Good day."

-Syme and the police chief in Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday
