The truth never becomes clear as long as we assume that each one of us, individually, is the center of the universe.

The center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusion, a point of pure truth.

To love our nothingness we must love everything in us that the proud man loves when he loves himself. But we must love it all for exactly the opposite reason.

Conscience is the light by which we interpret the will of God in our own lives.

Our whole life is a meditation of our last decision - the only decision that matters.

Living is not thinking. Thought is formed and guided by objective reality outside us. Living is the constant adjustment of thought to life and life to thought in such a way that we are always growing, always experiencing new things in the old and old things in the new. Thus life is always new.

To be unknown to God is altogether too much privacy.
