A few good quotes

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one. C. S. Lewis

With our loss of the sinse of majesty has come the furthur loss of religious awe and consciousness of the divine Presence. We have lost our spirit of worship and our ability to withdraw inwardly to meet God in adoring silence. A. W. Tozer

...have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Ranier Maria Rilke

We crave nothing less than perfect story; and while we chatter or listen all our lives in a din of craving- jokes, anecdotes, novels, dreams, films, plays, songs, half the words of our days- we are satisfied only by the one short tale we feel to be true; History is the will of a just god who knows us. Reynolds Price

Man's maker was made a man that He, Ruler of the stars, might nurse at His mother's breast; that the Bread might hunger, the Fountain thirst, the Light sleep, the Way be tired on its journey; that Truth might be accused of false witnesses, the Teacher be beaten with whips, the foundation be suspended on wood; that Strength might grow weak; that the Healer might be wounded; that Life might die. Augustine
