Francis Schaeffer

“The line of despair does not mean people sit around and cry all the time, but it does mean that when we reach the line of despair, whether we have seen it at the time in philosophy or in the artists we have studied, in the musicians, the general culture, it means that men have come to the place that on a humanist, rational, logical answer, on the basis of this, they no longer expect to be able to draw a circle which will encompass all of knowledge and life.”
