All things Aquinas: Quote of the Day XXXVI



All of my reading this semester is from the Summa. Have I complained about that on here lately? Ugh. Gosh darn, I love Aquinas and what he did for the church, but I'd rather not read 20 pages a week of his craziness which is the Summa. Good grief. This week for class we had an essay for each class due. In typical fashion, I turned them in about 10minutes  before due time (Saturday at 11:59pm EST/10:59pm CST).

On that note, here's something cool Aquinas said:

"Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder."

  1. Oh Aquinas...When Chuck took metaphysics, they uses Aqunas' commentary on Aristotle. I remember him shaking his head every class.
