Mysticism keeps men sane. As long as you have mystery you have health; when you destroy mystery you create morbidity.

—Chesterton, G. K.  Orthodoxy (p. 20).

  • In reference to his "whiteness"
  • Me: You wish you had some Puritan blood in you huh, that colonial stuff.
  • Logan: We all bleed red ~
  • Me: I bleed red too.
  • Logan: ...

  • Logan: It's about the color of your skin.

If it be true (as it certainly is) that a man can feel exquisite happiness in skinning a cat, then the religious philosopher can only draw one of two deductions. He must either deny the existence of God, as all atheists do; or he must deny the present union between God and man, as all Christians do.

—Chesterton, G. K., Orthodoxy 7 

[Communion between God and man] is the end to which both creation and redemption are the means; it is the goal to which both theology and preaching must ever point; it is the essence of true religion; it is, indeed, the definition of Christianity.

—JI Packer, Puritan idea of communion with God
