Quotes by Joseph Pearce (?)

“To live a creative life we must loose our fear of being wrong.”

“For Tolkien, Catholicism was not an opinion to which one subscribed but a reality to which one submitted. Quite simply, pseudo-psychology aside, Tolkien remained a Catholic for the simple if disarming reason that he believed Catholicism was true.”
― Joseph Pearce, Tolkien: Man and Myth

“Although secular fundamentalist 鈥減rogressives鈥� might believe in a future 鈥済olden age,鈥� such an age does not exist. The future that they herald is merely one of gathering gloom and ever darkening clouds. This fate has ever been so for those who proclaim their 鈥淧ride.鈥� They have nothing to expect in the future but their fall.

As for the Christian, he has nothing to fear but his falling into the pride of despair. If he avoids becoming despondent and retains his humility, he will receive the gift of hope which is its fruit. Where there is hope there is the Way, the Truth and the Life.”
― Joseph Pearce
