Where there is no longer any opportunity for doubt, there is no longer any opportunity for faith either.

In order to really understand, we need to listen, not reply. We need to listen long and attentively. In order to help anybody to open his heart we have to give him time, asking only a few questions, as carefully as possible in order to help him better explain his experience.

There are two things we cannot do alone. One is to be married and the other is to be a Christian.

Where there is no longer any opportunity for doubt, there is no longer any opportunity for faith either.

That is what marriage really means; helping one another to reach the full status of being persons, responsible and autonomous beings who do not run away from life.

The real meaning of travel, like that of a conversation by the fireside, is the discovery of oneself through contact with other people, and its condition is self-commitment in the dialogue.
