Christ, who said to the disciples, 'You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,' can truly say to every group of Christian friends, 'You have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another.'

Those who do not think about their own sins make up for it by thinking incessantly about the sins of others.

There is no neutral ground in the universe. Every square inch, every split second is claimed by God, and counterclaimed by Satan.

A universe whose only claim to be believed in rests on the validity of inference must not start telling us the inference is invalid.

Not my idea of God, but God. Not my idea of H., but H. Yes, and also not my idea of my neighbour, but my neighbour. For don't we often make this mistake as regards people who are still alive -- who are with us in the same room? Talking and acting not to the man himself but to the picture -- almost the précis -- we've made of him in our own minds? And he has to depart from it pretty widely before we even notice the fact.

To live in a fully predictable world is not to be a man.
