It is amazing what one ray of sunshine can do for a man!

you don't need free will to determine that twice two is four. that's not what i call free will

I bless the rising sun each day, and, as before, my heart sings to meet it, but now I love even more its setting, its long slanting rays & the soft tender gentle memories that come with them...’ -Father Zossima

I have been tortured with longing to believe ... and the yearning grows stronger the more cogent the intellectual difficulties stand in the way.

You will burn and you will burn out; you will be healed and come back again.

I am crazy about mysterious things.

The darker the night, the brighter the stars, The deeper the grief, the closer is God!
