I need Christ, not something that resembles Him.

Love is more than an emotion, it is a decision.

If all experienced God in the same way and returned Him an identical worship, the song of the Church triumphant would have no symphony, it would be played like an orchestra in which all instruments played the same note.

Seek Unity and you will find neither Unity nor Truth.Seek the light of truth, and you will find Unity and Truth.

God has no needs. Human love, as Plato teaches us, is the child of Poverty – of want or lack; it is caused by a real or supposed goal in its beloved which the lover needs and desires. But God's love, far from being caused by goodness in the object, causes all the goodness which the object has, loving it first into existence, and then into real, though derivative, lovability. God is Goodness. He can give good, but cannot need or get it. In that sense , His love is, as it were, bottomlessly selfless by very definition; it has everything to give, and nothing to receive.

You can't get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.

You can do more with a castle in a story than with the best cardboard castle that ever stood on a nursery table.
