Cupidity...takes created things for ends in themselves, which they are not. The will that seeks rest in creatures for their own sake stops on the way to its true end, terminates in a value which does not exist, and thus frustrates all its deepest capacities for happiness and peace.

The only right way: to love and serve the man of the modern world, but not simply to succumb, with him, to all his illusions about the world.

The God of peace is never glorified by human violence.

There are crimes which no one would commit as an individual which he willingly and bravely commits when acting in the name of his society, because he has been (too easily) convinced that evil is entirely different when it is done 'for the common good.'...one might point to the way in which racial hatreds and even persecution are admitted by people who consider themselves, and perhaps in some sense are, kind, tolerant, civilized and even humane.

May we all grow in grace and peace and not neglect the silence that is printed in the center of our being. It will not fail us.

The imagination should be allowed a certain amount of time to browse around.

Zen insight is not our awareness, but Being's awareness of itself in us.
