And where love ends, hate begins

Once we're thrown off our habitual paths, we think all is lost, but it's only here that the new and the good begins.

I don't allow myself to doubt myself even for a moment.

These loaves, pigeons, and two little boys seemed unearthly. It all happened at the same time: a little boy ran over to a pigeon, glancing over at Levin with a smile; the pigeon flapped its wings and fluttered, gleaming in the sunshine among the snowdust quivering in the air, while the smell of freshly baked bread was wafted out of a little window as the loaves were put out. All this together was so extraordinarily wonderful that Levin burst out laughing and crying for joy.

We have become so accustomed to the religious lie that surrounds us that we do not notice the atrocity, stupidity and cruelty with which the teaching of the Christian church is permeated.

The higher a man's conception of God, the better will he know Him. And the better he knows God, the nearer will he draw to Him.

Energy rests upon love; and come as it will, there's no forcing it.
