We are closer to God when we are asking questions than when we think we have the answers.

The man who has not suffered - what does he know anyway?

Awe is an intuition for the dignity of all things, a realization that things not only are what they are but also stand, however remotely, for something supreme. Awe is a sense for transcendence, for the reference everywhere to mystery beyond all things. It enables us to perceive in the world intimations of the divine. ... to sense the ultimate in the common and the simple: to feel in the rush of the passing the stillness of the eternal. What we cannot comprehend by analysis, we become aware of in awe.

Remember that there is meaning beyond absurdity. Know that every deed counts, that every word is power...Above all, remember that you must build your life as if it were a work of art.

Never once in my life did I ask God for success or wisdom or power or fame. I asked for wonder, and he gave it to me.

Indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself. It is a silent justification affording evil acceptability in society.
