We're living in an age of genocide. ...And we do believe that there is not only the genocide of war, and the genocide that took place with the extermination of the Jews, but the whole program....of birth control and abortion is another form of genocide.... [T]hey claim the poor are bringing forth tremendous numbers of children and so the solution is to kill them off.

We should live in such a way that our lives wouldn't make much sense if the gospel were not true.

Writing is hard work. But if you want to become a writer you will become one. Nothing will stop you.

You can't write about things without doing them. You just have to live that same way.

If you feed the poor, you're a saint. If you ask why they're poor, you're a Communist.

Dear God, please enlarge our hearts to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our enemy as well as our friend.

The idea that when the health of one member suffers, the health of the whole body is lowered is a teaching of St Paul which is timeless.
