I am commanded therefore I am.

To become aware of the ineffable is to part company with words.

Faith is not the clinging to a shrine but an endless pilgrimage of the heart. Audacious longing, burning songs, daring thoughts, an impulse overwhelming the heart, usurping the mind--these are all a drive towards serving Him who rings our hearts like a bell. It is as if He were waiting to enter our empty, perishing lives.

Philosophy may be defined as the art of asking the right question...awareness of the problem outlives all solutions. The answers are questions in disguise, every new answer giving rise to new questions.

Self-sufficiency, independence, the capacity to stand apart, to differ, to resist, and to defy-all are modes of being human.

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.

Life is not meaningful...unle ss it is serving an end beyond itself; unless it is of value to someone else.
