The task of evolutionary psychology is not to weigh in on human nature, a task better left to others.

Hence no manner of economic or political readjustment can possibly save our civilization; we can be saved only by a renovation of the inner man, only by a purging of our hearts and souls; for only by seeking first the Kingdom of God and His Justice will all these other things be added unto us. Fulton J. Sheen

Unfortunates, who ought to begin with God, do not have any hope in him till they have exhausted all other means of deliverance. Alexander Dumas
Life, faculties, production-in other words, individuality, liberty, property-this is man. And in spite of the cunning of artful political leaders, these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it. Frederic Bastiat
If all the world were Christian, it might not matter if all the world were educated. But a cultural life will exist outside the Church whether it exists inside or not. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered. C. S. Lewis
Joseph Campbell quote: "In marriage you are not sacrificing yourself to the other..."
In marriage you are not sacrificing yourself to the other person. You are sacrificing yourself to the relationship. Joseph Campbell
Bertrand Russell quote: "Philosophy, from the earliest times, has made greater claims,..."
Philosophy, from the earliest times, has made greater claims, and achieved fewer results, than any other branch of learning. Bertrand Russell
going to have an industrial society you must have places that will look terrible. Other places you set aside—to say, ‘This is the way it was.’ John McPhee
Culture is an elevated expression of the inner voice which the different peoples of the Earth have heard in the depths of their being, a voice which conveys the vibrant compassion and wisdom of the cosmic life. For different cultures to engage in interaction is to catalyze each other's souls and foster mutual understanding. Daisaku Ikeda
