Experience had taught me that innocence seldom utters outraged shrikes. Guilt does. Innocence is a mighty shield, and the man or woman covered by it, is much more likely to answer calmly: 'My life is blameless. Look into it, if you like, for you will find nothing.' That is the tone of innocence.

I see in Communism the focus of the concentrated evil of our time.

A Communist breaks because he must choose at last between irreconcilable opposites-God or Man, Soul or Mind, Freedom or Communism.

True wisdom comes from the overcoming of suffering and sin. All true wisdom is therefore touched with sadness.

For in this century, within the next decades, will be decided for generations whether all mankind is to become Communist, whether the whole world is to become free, or whether, in the struggle, civilization as we know it is to be completely destroyed or completely changed.

Political freedom, as the Western world has known it, is only a political reading of the Bible.

The crisis of the Western world exists to the degree in which it is indifferent to God.
