With the disappearance of God the Ego moves forward to become the sole divinity.

Really living like Christ will not mean reward, social recognition, and an assured income, but difficulties, discrimination, solitude, anxiety. Here, too, the basic experience of the cross applies: the wider we open our hearts to others, the more audibly we intervene against the injustice that rules over us, the more difficult our lives in the rich unjust society will become.

Religion does not confirm that there are hungry people in the world; it interprets the hungry to be our brethren whom we allow to starve.

A language that takes our emotions seriously and gives them real weight in our lives encourages us to think and be and act differently.

God has no other hands than ours.

To be content with the world as it is is to be dead.

If my hands are fully occupied in holding on to something, I can neither give nor receive.
