Quotes

• Every Tory is a realist: he knows that there are great forces in heaven and earth that man’s philosophy cannot plumb or fathom. We do wrong to deny it, when we are told that we do not trust human reason: we do not and we may not. Human reason set up a cross on Calvary, human reason set up the cup of hemlock, human reason was canonised in Nôtre Dame. Rightly, then, we recognise its limitations, and trust our instinct of reverence for authority.
