It seemed to me certain, and I still think so today, that one can never wrestle enough with God if one does so out of pure regard for the truth. Christ likes us to prefer truth to him because, before being Christ, he is truth. If one turns aside from him to go toward the truth, one will not go far before falling into his arms.

Truth is sought not because it is truth but because it is good.

It is only the impossible that is possible for God. He has given over the possible to the mechanics of matter and the autonomy of his creatures.

A mind enclosed in language is in prison.

Never react to an evil in such a way as to augment it.

Official history is believing the murderers at their word.

Absolutely unmixed attention is prayer.
