The road to the promised land runs past Sinai. The moral law may exist to be transcended: but there is no transcending it for those who have not first admitted its claims up on them, and then tried with all their strength to meet that claim, and fairly and squarely faced the fact of their failure.

Every uncorrected error and unrepented sin is, in its own right, a fountain of fresh error and fresh sin flowing on to the end of time.

Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.

Many things, such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly - are done worst when we try hardest to do them.

The sane would do no good if they made themselves mad to help madmen.

Further up and further in!

It is funny how mortals always picture us as putting things into their minds: in reality our best work is done by keeping things out.
