God is rich in mercy. I know this wealth of his with the certainty of experience, I have touched it.

In order to obey God, one must receive his commands. How did it happen that I received them in adolescence, while I was professing atheism? To believe that the desire for good is always fulfilled - that is faith, and whoever has it is not an atheist.

To claim that theft or adultery or lying are "evil" simply reflects our degraded idea of good-—that it has something to do with respect for property, respectability, and sincerity.

In struggling against anguish one never produces serenity; the struggle against anguish only produces new forms of anguish.

Necessity is God's veil.

He who has not God in himself cannot feel His absence.

Pain and suffering are a kind of currency passed from hand to hand until they reach someone who receives them but does not pass them on.
