• The Eucharist is the full realization of the worship which humanity owes to God, and it cannot be compared to any other religious experience.... The risen Lord ... calls the faithful together to give them the light of His Word and the nourishment of His Body as the perennial sacramental wellspring of redemption. The grace flowing from this wellspring renews mankind, life, and history.

• Wildness we might consider as the root of the authentic spontaneities of any being. It is that wellspring of creativity whence comes the instinctive activities that enable all living beings to obtain their food, to find shelter, to bring forth their young: to sing and dance and fly through the air and swim through the depths of the sea. This is the same inner tendency that evokes the insight of the poet, the skill of the artist and the power of the shaman.

• If our free society is to endure, those who govern must recognize human dignity and accept the enforcement of constitutional limitations on their power conceived by the Framers . . . . Such recognition will not come from a technical understanding of the organs of government, or the new forms of wealth they administer. It requires something different, something deeper-a personal confrontation with the wellsprings of our society.

• The poems in Katherine Soniat's new collection, The Swing Girl, weave emotion's 'spray going farther than thought' with the 'bedrock things' of the trod-upon world. These poems eddy and pool in unpredictable and often surprising ways, much as the mind moves in its twilight state between waking and sleep. The fluidity of their cadence and the luminosity of their imagery carry the reader to the wellspring of poetry itself, that deep delight of which Robert Penn Warren spoke, whose source is, in Soniat's words, 'beauty on its way to being mystery.'

• My father has always prayed that his words would reflect God's standard of truth as the basis to claim, 'I have given them Your word' (John 17:14).

It is highly meaningful to see these statements now collected in one volume.

• En realidad, "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" no trata del 11 de septiembre. Es sobre el impulso de vaciar ese día de su especificidad y convertirlo en otro manantial de emociones genéricas: tristeza, soledad, felicidad. Así es como funciona el kitsch. Explota imágenes familiares, ya sean cachorros o bebés -o, como en el caso de esta película, las torres gemelas- e intenta hacernos sentir bien, incluso virtuosos, simplemente por sentir. Y, sí, puede que llores, pero cuando las lágrimas se ordeñan como aquí, la verdadera respuesta debería ser la rabia.

• You become a character in a meta-drama into which your own dramatizing has pitched you. The rewards can be fantastic, the punishments dismal; it's a zero sum game, and its guarantor of value, its marker is that you pretend you play it solo, preserving the myth that you alone are the wellspring of your creativity.

• Death, however, does itch. It itches all the time. It is always with us, scratching at some inner door. Mirroring, softly, barely audibly, just under the membrane of consciousness. Hidden in disguise, leaking out in a variety of symptoms. It is the wellspring of many of our worries, stresses, and conflicts.

• El arte es un esfuerzo creador cuyas fuentes se encuentran en el espíritu, y que nos trae a la vez el yo más íntimo del artista y las secretas concurrencias que ha percibido en las cosas por medio de una visión o intuición que le son propias, y que no pueden expresarse en ideas ni en palabras; sólo son expresables en la obra de arte.

  Jacques Maritain
