“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renenwed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”
J. R.R. Tolkien

[S]tudents and professors were victims of what Ernest van den Haag had called "America's Pelagian heresy." Old Pelagius, so drubbed by Saint Augustine, declared that all men will be saved eventually, without the operation of divine grace. The average American in our century has come to believe that all men may be saved through educationism, without need for thought. Mere enrollment in a college, the American Pelagians had become convinced, would assure a lucrative salary upon graduation, acceptance at the country club, tolerable manners, anticipation in middle-brow culture, exemption from military service, and moral equanimity. Ever since the end of the Second World War, therefore, American campuses had been flooded by ineducable young persons uninterested in abstractions, and consequently incapable of profiting from years in college, because the higher learning necessarily has to do with abstractions. What once was academic community had become academic collectivism. ~ Russell Kirk in The Sword of Imagination, p.410

[color=#cccccc] [color=#cccccc]The cynic is one who never sees a good quality in a man and never fails to see a bad one. He is the human owl, vigilant in darkness and blind to light, mousing for vermin, and never seeing noble game. The cynic puts all human actions into two classes - openly bad and secretly bad.

Cultivo una rosa blanca,
En julio como en enero,
Para el amigo sincero
Que me da su mano franca.
Y para el cruel que me arranca
El corazon con que vivo,
Cardo ni oruga cultivo;
Cultivo la rosa blanca.
~ Jose Marti
