Your place in Heaven will seem to be made for you and you alone, because you were made for it.

Our problem with desire is that we want too little.

If no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other, there would be no sense in preferring civilised morality to savage morality.

You must not do, you must not even try to do, the will of the Father unless you are prepared to 'know of the doctrine'.

No good poem, however confessional it may be, is just a self-expression. Who on earth would claim that the pearl expresses the oyster?

If God 'foresaw' our acts, it would be very hard to understand how we could be free not to do them. But suppose god is outside and above the Time-line... You never supposed that your actions at this moment were any less free because God knows what you are doing. Well, He know your tomorrow's actions in just the same way--because He is already in tomorrow and can simply watch you. In a sense, He does not know your action till you have done it: but the moment at which you have done it is already 'NOW' for Him.
