“Do you want to know how you might win the culture war? It is to care for culture, it is to love your enemies, facing the devastation of ground zero. I have thought about that, struggled with it, and of course that is an impossibility. Of course that might be something that only an artist can say, because art is about making impossibilities possible, to give you a portal of this new vista that may not have existed before.”
- Makoto Fujimura, speaking to ARC conference attendees on November 1

“What’s in a name? The history of the human races is in names. Our objective friends do not understand that, since they move in a world of objects which can be counted and numbered. They reduce the great names of the past to dust and ashes. This they call scientific history. But the whole meaning of history is in the proof that there have lived people before the present time whom it is important to meet.” — Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy

“How is faith to endure, O God, when you allow all this scraping and tearing on us? You have allowed rivers of blood to flow, mountains of suffering to pile up, sobs to become humanity’s song — all without lifting a finger that we could see. You have allowed bonds of love beyond number to be painfully snapped. If you have not abandoned us, explain yourself…We strain to hear God in our sorrows. But instead of hearing an answer we catch the sight of God himself scraped and torn. Through our tears we see the tears of God… through the tears of God we see the splendor of God.” - Nicholas Wolterstorff, Lament for a Son
