Quote by C.S. Lewis

Enemy-occupied territory---that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us to take part in a great campaign of sabotage.

Enemy-occupied territory---that is what this world is. Chris

Summary

It portrays Christianity as a tale of the true ruler who has arrived in a concealed fashion and is summoning individuals to participate in a significant mission of causing disruption and hindrance to these opposing forces. The quote emphasizes the idea that Christianity is not only a personal belief system but also a call to actively challenge and subvert the dominant forces that oppose its principles.

The genius of Republican liberty, seems to demand on one sid

The genius of Republican liberty, seems to demand on one side, not only that all power should be derived from the people; but, that those entrusted with it should be kept in dependence on the people, by a short duration of their appointments; and, that, even during this short period, the trust should be placed not in a few, but in a number of hands. Stability, on the contrary, requires, that the hands, in which power is lodged, should continue for a length of time, the same. A frequent change of men will result from a frequent return of electors, and a frequent change of measures, from a frequent change of men; whilst energy in Government requires not only a certain duration of power, but the execution of it by a single hand.

He who seeks to approach his own buried past must conduct hi

He who seeks to approach his own buried past must conduct himself like a man digging. He must not be afraid to return again and again to the same matter; to scatter it as one scatters earth, to turn it over as one turns over soil. For the matter itself is only a deposit, a stratum, which yields only to the most meticulous examination what constitutes the real treasure hidden within the earth: the images, severed from all earlier associations, that stand --like precious fragments or torsos in a collector's gallery --in the prosaic rooms of our later understanding.

Walter Benjamin
