"We have now sunk to such a depth that the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men"
I love this quotation. I've been thinking a lot lately about the idol of novelty - that is, thinking of something new and original for the sake of its being new and original. In a sense, it takes humility to just keep on repeating what you know to be true and to be satisfied with the unoriginality of it. After all, many of us, myself included, need to hear the same things over and over and over again.
Fear not, nor be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? And you are my witnesses! Is there a God besides me?There is no Rock; I know not any. - Isaiah 44:8
