“I have lost my faith, but I gained the truth! It is not important at all to lose your candle as long as you find a torch!”

“To be sad or happy about something that time says now is the eternal disease of mankind! Something happened, don't be sad right away, wait; something happened, don't be happy right away, wait, wait for what time will say later, because what time will say when the time comes is more important than what time says now, because time can throw away its last word and completely change what it says now!”

“Religion is not a bridge between God and Man; it is the Great Wall of China between them!”

“Religion now has degenerated and it has turned into a wolf; it has opened its mouth to show his ugly teeth; its spreading fear instead of love; and science has hidden in a corner like a lamb, trembling with fear!”

“La religion n'est pas un pont entre Dieu et l'homme, c'est une Grande Muraille de Chine entre eux!”

“Alone: for the first time I understood the terrible significance of that word. Alone without a witness, without anyone to speak to, without refuge. The breath in my body, the blood in my veins, all this hurly-burly in my head existed for nobody.”

“Perfection” of existence is in its plurality and its “imperfection.” Existence contains the whole purpose in a constant, eternal pursuit of perfection. In this pursuit, the mode, motives, and, above all, meaning are found. Even if there were a possibility for perfect particularities within the realm of existence (world, universe), this perfection would still undermine the higher perfection achieved through evolution. The perfection of particularities would undermine the absolute potential of the Absolute for infinity. The world must be “perfect” (or “imperfect”) not only concerning the Absolute and not only concerning the particular realities but also proportionately perfect (or imperfect) concerning its potential and the potential of the Absolute concerning eternity and infinity.”

“But you'd get arguments from all kinds of people that the Bible has got to be perfect. That God would not permit such errors to be made in the Holy Word.”

“salvation = given, not earned”

“As long as we remain vigilant at building our internal abundance—an abundance of integrity, an abundance of forgiveness, an abundance of service, an abundance of love—then external lack is bound to be temporary.”
