• Catholics are necessarily at war with this age. That we are not more conscious of the fact, that we so often endeavor to make an impossible peace with it -- that is the tragedy. You cannot serve God and Mammon. (Eric Gill) [war/age/more/]
• Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building -- like Tower Bridge -- or a classical front put on a steel frame -- like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living -- not something added, like sugar on a pill. (Eric Gill) [culture/culture/thing/thing]
• Science is analytical, descriptive, informative. Man does not live by bread alone, but by science he attempts to do so. Hence the deadliness of all that is purely scientific. (Eric Gill) [science/science]
• Art is skill, that is the first meaning of the word. (Eric Gill) [art/skill]
• Without philosophy man cannot know what he makes; without religion he cannot know why. (Eric Gill)
