He went into the church and never got over what he saw in the church. Brilliant on the subject of art.The honesty of wrestling about things. Honest to the point of genuine emotion. Take any question that comes to them.

Ellul: the Political IllusionWalker Percy: Lost in the Cosmos, The loss of the creatureOur first environment is nature. We get everything good from there, but also all of the worst things. In order to fight that we created the second environment. Society. The social world. We’re protected from some of the worst ravages from nature, but all of the problems of the social world. Love, heartache, conflict, strife, war, disease. Now technology. We live inside of technology. Ellul died on the day Jackie Kennedy diedTarkofsky, Sculpture and TimeWe are at war with reality. We want a perfect world. The more we try to get there the more we put the gun to our head. The last place will be the first place.
