Christ died for men precisely because men are not worth dying for; to make them worth it.

Anyone who is honestly trying to be a Christian will soon find his intelligence being sharpened: one of the reasons why it needs no special education to be a Christian is that Christianity is an education itself. That is why an uneducated believer like Bunyan was able to write a book that has astonished the whole world.

If the world is meaningless, then so are we; if we mean something, we do not mean alone.

In Science we have been reading only the notes to a poem; in Christianity we find the poem itself.

Make your choice, adventurous Stranger, Strike the bell and bide the danger, Or wonder, till it drives you mad, What would have followed if you had.

We can never know that a piece of writing is bad unless we have begun by trying to read it as if it was very good and ended by discovering that we were paying the author an undeserved compliment.

To live in a fully predictable world is not to be a man.
