Quoted in a letter to the editor in the latest Christian Century:

Things are set up as contraries that are not even in the same category… The opposite of radical is superficial; the opposite of liberal is stingy; the opposite of conservative is destructive. Thus I will describe myself as a radical conservative liberal.

…Beware of those who use words to mean their opposites. At the same time have pity on them, for usually this trick is their only stock in trade.

–Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy
