Never, for the sake of peace and quiet, deny your own experience or convictions.

The longest journey is the journey inward.

Your cravings as a human animal do not become a prayer just because it is God whom you ask to attend to them.

For the sacrificed, in the hour of sacrifice, only one thing counts: faith-alone among enemies and skeptics. Faith, in spite of the humiliation which is both the necessary precondition and the consequence of faith, faith without any hope of compensation other than he can find in a faith which reality seems so thoroughly to refute.

In a dream I walked with God through the deep places of creation; past walls that receded and gates that opened through hall after hall of silence, darkness and refreshment--the dwelling place of souls acquainted with light and warmth--until, around me, was an infinity into which we all flowed together and lived anew, like the rings made by raindrops falling upon wide expanses of calm dark waters.

In the last analysis, it is our conception of death which decides our answers to all the questions that life puts to us.

Perhaps a great love is never returned.
