Superficiality is the curse of the modern world. - Matthew Kelly, Rediscover Catholicism: A Spiritual Guide to Living with Passion & Purpose

"The notion of freedom proclaimed by the modern world is anti-discipline. But true freedom cannot be separated from discipline."

"We don't want to think about our weaknesses. We don't want to talk about them, and we certainly don't want anyone else to point them out. This is a classic sign of mediocrity, and this mediocrity has a firm grip on the Church and humanity at this moment in history."
