In the end, coming to faith remains for all a sense of homecoming, of picking up the threads of a lost life, of responding to a bell that had long been ringing, of taking a place at a table that had long been vacant.

In the cycle of a great civilization, the artist begins as priest, and ends as a clown or buffoon.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Civilization - a heap of rubble scavenged by scrawny English Lit. vultures.
Malcolm Muggeridge
In the 19th century, the English were loathed. Every memoir that you read of that period, indicates the loathing that everybody felt for the English, the only difference between the English and Americans, in this respect, is the English rather liked being loathed and the Americans apparently dislike it intensely.

I have had my television aerials removed. It is the moral equivalent of a prostate operation.
Malcolm Muggeridge
One of the stupidest theories of Western life.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Television was not intended to make human beings vacuous, but it is an emanation of their vacuity.
Malcolm Muggeridge
I don't think that it would make the slightest difference to life and to the aspects of life that interest me if we could go to the moon tomorrow, because I think what really makes life interesting is the big question Why?

When St. Teresa of Avila says, 'Our life in this world is like a night in a second class hotel' I agree with her absolutely and I think it's almost insulting to God and man to suggest that trivial events should give rise to deep concern on his part.
Malcolm Muggeridge
I don't like seeing people angry.
Malcolm Muggeridge
The Sputnik is just to me like a firework, a rocket, a new invention.
Malcolm Muggeridge
God, stay with me, let no word cross my lips that is not your word, no thoughts enter my mind that are not your thoughts, no deed ever be done or entertained by me that is not your deed.
Malcolm Muggeridge
All new news is old news happening to new people
Malcolm Muggeridge
Animistic savages prostrating themselves before a painted stone have always seemed to me to be nearer the truth than any Einstein or Bertrand Russell.
Malcolm Muggeridge
What will finally destroy us is not communism or fascism, but man acting like God.
Malcolm Muggeridge
When Dwight Eisenhower became president, I personally was delighted. I thought that that was a very good thing.
Malcolm Muggeridge
On television I feel like a man playing piano in a brothel every now and again he solaces himself by playing 'Abide with Me' in the hope of edifying both the clients and the inmates
Malcolm Muggeridge
The dogmatism of science has become a new orthodoxy, disseminated by the Media and a State educational system with a thoroughness and subtlety far exceeding anything of the kind achieved by the Inquisition to the point that to believe today in a miraculous happening like the Virgin Birth is to appear a kind of imbecile.
Malcolm Muggeridge
One of the peculiar sins of the twentieth century which we've developed to a very high level is the sin of credulity. It has been said that when human beings stop believing in God they believe in nothing. The truth is much worse: they believe in anything.
Malcolm Muggeridge
People say that the Bible is a boring book...but they don't say that about Shakespeare, because the people who teach Shakespeare are zealous for Shakespeare.

As Man alone, Jesus could not have saved us As God alone, He would not Made flesh, He could and did.
