Philosophy which asserts that human experience repeats itself is ineffectual.

Prayer is not a discourse. It is a form of life, the life with God. That is why it is not confined to the moment of verbal statement.

The fact of knowing how to read is nothing, the whole point is knowing what to read.

We have to admit that there is an immeasurable distance between all that we read in the Bible and the practice of the Church and of Christians.

What we are witnessing at the moment is a rearrangement of the world in an intermediate stage; the change is not in the use of a natural force but in the application of technique to all spheres of life.

Everyone has been taught that technique is an application of science.... This traditional view is radically false. It takes into account only a single category of science and only a short period of time

No technique is possible when men are free. Technique requires predictability and, no less, exactness of prediction. It is necessary, then, that technique prevail over the human being.
