“What is forgotten, however, is that many times the Good we create leads to Evil that will destroy us.”

“If God is wiser that we His judgement must differ from ours on many things, and not least on good and evil. What seems to us good may therefore not be good in His eyes, and what seems to us evil may not be evil.”

“Good' did not triumph. 'Evil' did not triumph. The two resolved, destroyed each other and created new 'evils', new 'goods' which slew each other in their turn.”

“Impotence in prayer leads us, however unwillingly, to strike a truce with evil. When you accept what is, you abandon a Christian view of God and His plan for redemptive history.”

“We are not trapped by our thoughts. What we generally do, however, is create thoughts that trap us.” (p.162)”

“Only when we eat up this planet will God give us another. We'll be remembered more for what we destroy than what we create.”
