We live as if we were unaware of our impending destruction

I found I had less and less to say, until finally, I became silent, and began to listen. I discovered in the silence, the voice of God

Teach me, 0 God, not to torture myself, not to make a martyr out of myself through stifling reflection, but rather teach me to breathe deeply in faith.

Take a chance and you may lose. Take not a chance and you have lost already.

That which is truly human no generation learns from the one before it. No generation learns from another how to love. No generation has a shorter task assigned to it except insofar as the previous generation shirked its task and deluded itself.

Faith is holding onto uncertainties with passionate conviction.

I have only one friend, and that is echo. Why is it my friend? Because I love my sorrow, and echo does not take it away from me. I have only one confidant, and that is the silence of night. Why is it my confidant? Because it remains silent.
