The Order of Things
James V. Schall, The Order of Things (Ignatius Press, 2007)
Summary: A series of weighty meditations, penned by a late religious scholar at Georgetown, on our place in the universe — or, rather, the place of everything in relation to everything else.
Key Quote: "Still, while not denying the significance of small things, some things are more important than others. The essence of civilization is to know the difference." - p. 86
Bottom Line: Read this book if you want to think deep thoughts for, maybe, twenty minutes a day.
