predilection quotes

In our anguish we struggle To elude Him, to lie to Him, yet His love observes His appalling promise; His predilection As we wander and weep is with us to the end, Minding our meanings, our least matter dear to Him.

-W(ystan) H(ugh) Auden
^6  The Age of  Anxiety, pt.6, Epilogue.

A predilection for genre fiction is symptomatic of a kind of arrested development.

-Thomas M(ichael) Disch
