We must stop regarding unpleasant or unexpected things as interruptions of real life. The truth is that interruptions are real life.

The real moon,if you could reach it and survive it, would in a deep and deadly sense be just like anywhere else...no man would find an abiding strangness on the moon unless he were the sort of man who could find it in his own back garden.

There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditures excludes them.

I pray because I can't help myself.

The Christian idea of marriage is based on Christ's words that a man and wife are to be regarded as a single organism - for that is what the words 'one flesh' would be in modern English. And the Christians believe that when He said this He was not expressing a sentiment but stating a fact - just as one is stating a fact when one says that a lock and its key are one mechanism, or that a violin and a bow are one musical instrument.

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

You will not find the warrior, the poet, the philosopher or the Christian by staring into his eyes as if he were your mistress: better fight beside him, read with him, argue with him, pray with him.
