Keller on Politics

One of the signs that an object is functioning as an idol is that fear becomes one of the chief characteristics of life. When we center our lives on the idol, we become dependent on it. If our counterfeit god is threatened in any way, our response is complete panic...This may be a reason why so many people now respond to U.S. political trends in such an extreme way. When either party wins an election, a certain percentage of the losing side talks openly about leaving the country. They become agitated and fearful of the future. They have put the kind of hope in their political leaders and policies that once was reserved for God and the work of the gospel.

~Tim Keller in "Counterfeit Gods" pg 98

Chesterton on Satire

When little boys in the street laugh at the fatness of some distinguished journalist, they are unconsciously assuming a standard of Greek sculpture. They are appealing to the marble Apollo. And the curious disappearance of satire from our literature is an instance of the fierce things fading for want of any principle to be fierce about.

Chesterton on Choice

Every act of will is an act of self-limitation. To desire action is to desire limitation. In that sense every act is an act of self sacrifice. When you choose anything, you reject everything else.

~Orthodoxy
