"Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys." - C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
In technical civilization, we expend time to gain space. To enhance our power in the world of space is our main objective. Yet to have more does not mean to be more. The power we attain in the world of space terminates abruptly at the borderline of time. But time is the heart of existence. --Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Sabbath
When the toast is burned
and all the milk has turned
and captain crunch is waving farewell
When the big one finds you
may this song remind you
that they don't serve breakfast in hell
--Steve Taylor (Newsboys), Breakfast
