There is something so horrifying and so sad when people are living alone. That is why the old and lonely come to us.
Dorothy DayThere's enough hate in the world. I command you to love. And you have to make an effort.
Dorothy DayWhen you love people, you see all the good in them, all the Christ in them. God sees Christ, His Son, in us and loves us. And so we should see Christ in others, and nothing else, and love them. There can never be enough of it. There can never be enough thinking about it.
Dorothy DayThis is so rich a country that luxury has developed at the expense of necessities, and even the destitute partake of the luxury. We are the rich country of the world, like Dives at the feast. We must try hard, we must study to be poor like Lazarus at the gate, who was taken into Abraham's bosom.
