Renunciation is submission to time.

Power ... is the supreme end for all those who have not understood.

The role of the intelligence - that part of us which affirms and denies and formulates opinions is merely to submit.

One might lay down as a postulate: All conceptions of God which are incompatible with a movement of pure charity are false. All other conceptions of him, in varying degree, are true.

If you say to someone who has ears to hear: "What you are doing to me is not just," you may touch and awaken at its source the spirit of attention and love. But it is not the same with words like, "I have the right..." or "you have no right to..." They evoke a latent war and awaken the spirit of contention.

Contradiction itself, far from always being a criterion of error, is sometimes a sign of truth.

All those who possess in its pure state the love of their neighbour and the acceptance of the order of the world, inclucing affliction-all those, even should they live and die to all appearances atheists, are surely saved.
