Robert Henri Quotes

I am always sorry for the Puritan, for he guided his life against desire and against nature. He found what he thought was comfort, for he believed the spirit's safety was in negation, but he has never given the world one minute's joy or produced one symbol of the beautiful order of nature. He sought peace in bondage and his spirit became a prisoner.

Christianity is realistic because it says that if there is no truth, there is also no hope; and there can be no truth if there is no adequate base.

It leaves absolutely no room for a romantic answer. Francis Schaeffer
