Peter Kreeft Quotes
We All, Like Frodo, Carry A Quest, A Task: Our Daily Duties. They Come To Us, Not From Us. We Are Free Only To Accept Or Refuse Our Task- And, Implicitly, Our Taskmaster. None Of Us Is A Free Creator Or Designer Of His Own Life. "None Of Us Lives To Himself, And None Of Us Dies To Himself" (Rom 14:7). Either God, Or Fate, Or Meaningless Chance Has Laid Upon Each Of Us A Task, A Quest, Which We Would Not Have Chosen For Ourselves. We Are All Hobbits Who Love Our Shire, Or Security, Our Creature Comforts, Whether These Are Pipeweed, Mushrooms, Five Meals A Day, And Local Gossip, Or Starbucks Coffees, Recreational Sex, And Politics. But Something, Some Authority Not Named In The Lord Of The Rings (but Named In The Silmarillion), Has Decreed That A Quest Should Interrupt This Delightful Epicurean Garden And Send Us On An Odyssey. We Are Plucked Out Of Our Hobbit Holes And Plunked Down Onto A Road.
