“I would rather have a short life with width rather than a narrow one with length.”
“I have but one candle of life to burn, and i would rather burn it out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light.”
“I always have the feeling we are merely fearfully trying to save room for God; I would rather speak of God at the center than at the limits, in strength rather than weakness, and thus in human life and goodness rather than in death and guilt.”
“I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.”
“I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.”
“You would rather face a life without me than to have me choose a life I would not choose for myself.”
