“People who want a cure, provided they can have it without pain, are like those who favour progress, provided they can have it without change.”

“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”

“I have lived alone, I have fought alone, I have dealt with the pain alone. I will die alone.I think when I'm going to leave. I don’t want to be seen and I don’t want to be followed , I want to disappear quickly and quietly and without any drama , I want as much time in the darkness as I can possibly have . The darkness provides cover, the darkness provides places to hide and the darkness provides comfort.”

“Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”

“Before we can progress in providing answers . . . we have to repent of our questions.”

“The soul can do without everything except the word of God, without which none at all of its wants are provided for.”
