Mozart's music always sounds unburdened, effortless, and light. This is why it unburdens, releases, and liberates us.

Mozart's music is free of all exaggeration, of all sharp breaks and contradictions. The sun shines but does not blind, does not burn or consume. Heaven arches over the earth, but it does not weigh it down, it does not crush or devour it.

Grace creates liberated laughter. The grace of God...is beautiful, and it radiates joy and awakens humor.

Men have never been good, they are not good and they never will be good.

What is offered to man's apprehension in any specific revelation of Christ is the living God himself.

What happened on that day (of Easter) became, was and remained the centre around which everything else moves. For everything lasts its time, but the love of God - which was at work and was expressed in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead - lasts forever. Because this event took place, there is no reason to despair, and even when we read the newspaper with all its confusing and frightening news, there is every reason to hope.

Prayer without study would be empty. Study without prayer would be blind.
