Bzya touched his shoulder. "But that's why you and I are here, old man. To keep the world away from boys like Farr and Cris-to give them a place that seems as stable and eternal as your parents did when you were a child-until they are old enough to cope with the truth.”. (Stephen Baxter)

Everything in this life passes away - only God remains, only He is worth struggling towards. We have a choice: to follow the way of this world, of the society that surrounds us, and thereby find ourselves outside of God; or to choose the way of life, to choose God Who calls us and for Whom our heart is searching.

Why does man grow spiritually through pain and not through joys and rest? Simply because joy and comfort lead man to be satisfied with the present world. Grief and tribulations lead us to search for a deeper joy, beyond the limits of this life. View quote

Your days are short here; this is the last of your springs. And now in the serenity and quiet of this lovely place, touch the depths of truth, feel the hem of Heaven. You will go away with old, good friends. And don't forget when you leave why you came. View quote
Adlai Stevenson II
INCOMPOSSIBLE, adj. Unable to exist if something else exists. Two things are incompossible when the world of being has scope enough for one of them, but not enough for both as Walt Whitman's poetry and God's mercy to man. View quote
Ambrose Bierce
What do you mean by faith? Is faith enough for Man? Should he be satisfied with faith alone? Is there no way of finding out the truth? Is the attitude of faith, of believing in something for which there can be no more than philosophic proof, the true mark of a Christian? View quote
