For the church is not a human society of people united by their natural affinities but the Body of Christ, in which all members, however different, (and He rejoices in their differences and by no means wishes to iron them out) must share the common life, complementing and helping one another precisely by their differences.

To be religious is to have one's attention fixed on God and on one's neighbour in relation to God.

Every natural love will rise again and live forever in this country: but none will rise again until it has been buried.

If you had felt yourself sufficient, it would have been a proof that you were not.

When you go to church you are really listening in to the secret wireless from our friends.

I gave up Christianity at about 14. Came back to it when getting on for 30. Not an emotional conversion; almost purely philosophical. I didn't want to. I'm not in the least a religious type. I want to be let alone, to feel I'm my own master; but since the facts seemed to be just the opposite, I had to give in.
