To effectively communicate we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.

For two thousand years the Church has guided the development of music carefully legislating to fuse artistic talent and aesthetic beauty with the demands of the Faith.

Listening to my regular favourites - Mozart Beethoven Brahms and so on - I always feel quite misguidedly that nothing can be too bad if such beauty and brilliance exists in the world.

For I must tell you that we artists cannot tread the path of Beauty without Eros keeping company with us and appointing himself as our guide.

Medicine is not only a science it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters it deals with the very processes of life which must be understood before they may be guided.

The same sort of thing happened in my dispute with the National Trust book: Follies: A National Trust Guide which implied that the only pleasure you can get from Folly architecture is by calling the architect mad and by laughing at the architecture.

The way of architecture is the quiet voice that underlies it and has guided it from the beginning.

The momentum of freedom in our world is unmistakable - and it is not carried forward by our power alone. We can trust in that greater power Who guides the unfolding of the years. And in all that is to come we can know that His purposes are just and true.

If we take science as our sole guide if we accept and hold fast that alone which is verifiable the old theology must go.
