“I've always been aware of the otherworld, of spirits that exist in that twilight place that lies in the corner of our eyes, of fairie and stranger things still that we spy only when we're not really paying attention to them, whispers and flickering shadows, here one moment, gone the instant we turn our heads for a closer look.

“Whoso turns his attention to the bitter strifes of these days and seeks a reason for the troubles that vex public and private life must come to the conclusion that a fruitful cause of the evils which now afflict, as well as of those which threaten us, lies in this: that false conclusions concerning divine and human things, which originated in the schools of philosophy, have crept into all the orders of the state, and have been accepted by the common consent of the masses.” HumansWellsHas BeensStatesReasonPhilosophySchoolLyingOrderTurnsEvilPoliticsCausesCommonAttentionEconomyTroubleDivineMassAcceptedConclusionBitterThese DaysLiberalismConsentPrivate LifeVex Author:Pope Leo XIII
