“I grew up in a hospital and as a child I played in the dissecting room”

“We must laugh and cry, enjoy and suffer, in a word, vibrate to our full capacity … I think that’s what being really human means.”

“Nessuno, mai, riesce a dare l'esatta misura di ciò che pensa, di ciò che soffre, della necessità che lo incalza, e la parola umana è spesso come un pentolino di latta su cui andiamo battendo melodie da far ballare gli orsi mentre vorremmo intenerire le stelle.”

“Reality does not conform to the ideal, but confirms it.”

“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”

“Our heaven is their hell, said God. I like a balanced universe.”

“As followers of Christ, we are to be careful not to remain victims of the many cultural presuppositions of who he is, and what he teaches, insofar as taking for granted our own caricatures of him. Let it boil in both mind and heart the question, 'If Jesus were to appear today, how many of us would actually recognize him and his teachings (or would it simply be a recount of his first visit)?”

“From the beginning men used God to justify the unjustifiable.”

“...Don't ever worry bout bein holy, babychild. Just keep your eyes wide open except when you sleep. Then let the Lord's mighty vision see you through the night.”

“What I do not like about our definitions of genius is that there is in them nothing of the day of judgment, nothing of resounding through eternity and nothing of the footsteps of the Almighty.”
