“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

“We live on a little island of the articulable, which we tend to mistake for reality itself.” — Marilynne Robinson, When I Was a Child I Read Books
“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
“I abhor the idea of a perfect world. It would bore me to tears.” — Shelby Foote
