“the world exists, not for what it means but for what it is. the purpose of mushrooms is to be mushrooms; wine is in order to be wine: things are precious before they are contributory. it is a false piety that walks through creation looking only for lessons which can be applied somewhere else. to be sure, God remains the greatest good, but, for all that, the world is still good in itself. indeed, since He does not need it, its whole reason for being must lie in its own goodness; He has no use for it; only delight.” - the supper of the lamb, robert farrar capon
“the graces of the world are the looks of a woman in love; without the woman they could not be there at all; but without her lover, they would not quicken into loveliness.” - the supper of the lamb, frank capon
