    “ For tragedy is an imitation ('mimesis'), not of men, but of an action ('praxeos') and of life, and life consists in action, and its end is a mode of action ('to telos praxeis tis estin'), not a quality. Now character determines men's qualities, but it is by their actions that they are happy or the reverse.”

    [Aristotle’s Poetics, 50 a 16-18]


    “ There is a need for heralds of the Gospel who are experts in humanity, who have a profound knowledge of the heart of present-day man, sharing his joys and hopes, his anguish and sadness, and who are also contemplative souls, in love with God. “

    [Pope John Paul II to the European Council of Bishops' Conferences, 11-10-85]
