Hilaire Belloc on the difference between the barbarian and the civilized man: "The Barbarian hopes — and that is the mark of him, that he can have his cake and eat it too. He will consume what civilization has slowly produced after generations of selection and effort, but he…

G.K. Chesterton's best book: Orthodoxy (1908) Its 10 best ideas: 1. Love precedes lovability: "Men did not love Rome because she was great. She was great because they had loved her." A "primary devotion" to a place, thing, or person is the source of the creative energy that…

As someone with same sex attraction, I am profoundly grateful to my traditional Latin Mass family for never lying to me. For caring enough about my soul to tell me the truth. For always loving me and welcoming me into the church, and for holding me to the same standard as…

The year is 2036, international trade has ground to a halt. The space between rival empires is a no mans land as mass produced autonomous drones clash with each other in perpetuity in an effort to secure air superiority that will never come. After a collaboration with the Boring…

One of the many points on which professional politicians fail to understand human beings is this simple fact that voting is a bore, while arguing, shouting, heckling, and holding up one's hand are, on the contrary, great fun.

Fairy tales are not responsible for producing in children fear, or any of the shapes of fear; fairy tales do not give the child the idea of the evil or the ugly; that is in the child already, because it is in the world already. Fairy tales do not give a child his first idea of…

There are some things more important than peace, and one of them is the dignity of human nature.

Between newspaper stunts and newspaper suppressions on the one side, and dictatorships with their censorships on the other, it is highly probable that our immediate posterity will know less about what is going on than they did before there was a printing press. An entirely new…

We are especially taught to hail as the best thing in America what is certainly the worst thing in America. It is the horrible and repulsive thing called Optimism, which is akin in its metaphysics to Christian Science. That is, it is the direct denial of both Science and…
