Join 📚 Lukas' Reading Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Lukas's read, .
Love’s desire, like all desire, is bitter and painful because it lacks what it wants. If it did not lack what it wanted, it would not be desiring it but would be enjoying it. But the very desire is also sweet, a joy, a fulfillment. Merely to long for God is better than to possess the whole world. This absence is better than any other presence; this desire is better, than every other fulfillment.
Three Philosophies of Life
Peter Kreeft
The passive consumer wants packages, but those, he suggested, who are concerned in pursuing knowledge and in seeking causes will resort to aphorisms, just because they are incomplete and require participation in depth.
Understanding Media
Marshall McLuhan
This book, being about work, is by its very nature, about violence-to the spirit as well as to the body. It is about ulcers as well as accidents, .. . about nervous breakdowns as well as kicking the dog around. It is, above all (or beneath all), about daily humiliations. To survive the day is triumph enough for the walking wounded among the great many of us.
