The apparently unendurable conflict is proof of the rightness of your life. A life without contradiction is only half a life; or else a life in the Beyond, which is destined only for angels. But God loves human beings more than the angels.

The mind has grown to its present state of consciousness as an acorn grows into an oak, or as saurians developed into mammals.

The greatest sin is to be unconscious.

The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.

The primary cause of unhappiness in the world today is... lack of faith.
