That must be wonderful; I have no idea of what it means.

Accept life, take it as it is? Stupid. The means of doing otherwise? Far from our having to take it, it is life that possesses us and on occasion shuts our mouths.

There are places where the mind dies so that a truth which is its very denial may be born.

The most important thing you do everyday you live is deciding not to kill yourself.

The love of God is a hard love. It demands total self-surrender, disdain of our human personality. And yet it alone can reconcile us to suffering and the deaths of children, it alone can justify them, since we cannot understand them, and we can only make God's will ours.

The struggle to the top alone will make a human heart SWELL.

Rebellion cannot exist without the feeling that somewhere, in some way, you are justified.
