When we are self-conscious, we cannot be wholly aware; we must throw ourselves out first. This throwing ourselves away is the act of creativity.

The naked intellect is an extraordinarily inaccurate instrument.

We do learn and develop when we are exposed to those who are greater than we are. Perhaps this is the chief way we mature.

I don't understand it any more than you do, but one thing I've learned is that you don't have to understand things for them to be.

If we all knew each morning that there was going to be another morning, and on and on and on, we's tend not to notice the sunrise, or hear the birds, or the waves rolling into the shore. We'd tend not to treasure our time with the people we love. Simply the awareness that our mortal lives had a beginning and will have an end enhances the quality of our living. Perhaps it's even more intense when we know that the termination of the body is near, but it shouldn't be.

We do have to use our minds as far as they will take us, yet acknowledging that they cannot take us all the way.

God promised to make you free. He never promised to make you independent.
