Quotes About Creation

The thing about Tolkien, about The Lord of the Rings , is that it's perfect. It's this whole world, this whole process of immersion, this journey. It's not, I'm pretty sure, actually true, but that makes it more amazing, that someone could make it all up. Reading it changes everything.

Prayer that is regular confounds both self-importance and the wiles of the world. It is so easy for good people to confuse their own work with the work of creation. It is so easy to come to believe that what we do is so much more important than what we are. It is so easy to simply get too busy to grow.

A world without a sense of direction, a people without a conscious commitment to reason and rightness, to quality of life and character of purpose, shape both the culture of the nation and the ongoing dedication to life by the souls that guide it.

The world is not a problem to be solved; it is a living being to which we belong. The world is part of our own self and we are a part of its suffering wholeness.
