To love someone means to see them as God intended them. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

"originality and a feeling of one's own dignity are achieved only through work and struggle."

"Man is a mystery. It needs to be unravelled, and if you spend your whole life unravelling it, don't say that you've wasted time. I am studying that mystery because I want to be a human being."

"It is not as a child that I believe and confess Jesus Christ. My hosanna is born of a furnace of doubt."

"It seems, in fact, as though the second half of a man's life is made up of nothing, but the habits he has accumulated during the first half."

"If someone proved to me that Christ is outside the truth, and that in reality the truth were outside of Christ, then I should prefer to remain with Christ rather than with the truth."
