The rule of the universe is that others can do for us what we cannot do for ourselves, and one can paddle every canoe except one's own.

Don't think of God in terms of forms, because forms are limited and God is unlimited.

Till that word can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think we mean? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?

Many things have gone wrong with the world that God made and... God insists, and insists very loudly, on our putting them right again

No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good...Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is.

I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the horses the new strength of fear for the last mill so that you should reach King Lune in time. And I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you.
