A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.

God is not a static thing...but a dynamic, pulsating activity, a life, almost a kind of drama. Almost, if you will not think me irreverent, a kind of dance.

We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.

Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone.

We regard God as an airman regards his parachute; it's there for emergencies but he hopes he'll never have to use it.

God is not an optional extra, He's an absolute must!

We must lay before him what is in us; not what ought to be in us.
