Philosophy Quote by Peter Kreeft — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Everything smaller than Heaven bores us because only Heaven is bigger than our hearts.”

“It is closer to the truth to say that God is crazy than that God is reasonable. I suspect God merely smiles when someone calls him crazy, but shakes His head and frowns when someone calls Him reasonable.”

“It is reasonable to love the Absolute absolutely for the same reason it is reasonable to love the relative relatively.”

“We can't avoid reasoning; we can only avoid doing it well.”

“Violence is spiritual junk food, and boredom is spiritual anorexia.”

“Conscience is thus explained only as the voice of God in the soul.”

“Zsoronga, Sorweel was beginning to realize, possessed the enviable ability to yoke his conviction to his need — to believe, absolutely, whatever his heart required. For Sorweel, belief and want always seemed like ropes too short to bind together, forcing him to play the knot as a result.”

“If you cannot find an element of Humour in something, your not taking it seriously enough.”

“Love, I think, is a gateway to the world, not an escape from it.”

“You can believe in whatsoever you like, but the truth remains the truth, no matter how sweet the lie may taste.”

“My experience with forgiveness is that it sort of comes spontaneously at a certain point and to try to force it it's not really forgiveness. It's Buddhist philosophy or something spiritual jargon that you're trying to live up to but you're just using it against yourself as a reason why you're not okay.”

“Les naturels sanguinaires à l'endroit des bestes, tesmoignent une propension naturelle à la cruauté.”
