“After all, Goodness is a state of grace. Evil, is a state of mind.”

“The puzzle of time, the mystery of creation, the problem of evil, the enigma of knowledge, the state of soul, the vexations of probability theory of the nature of God's grace, all reduced to a single question. What does it mean, in a world of God's creation, that man is free to choose between the paths of good and evil?”

“A state of mind that sees God in everything is evidence of growth in grace and a thankful heart.”

“The state lieth in all languages of good and evil; and whatever it saith it lieth; and whatever it hath it hath stolen.”

“The existence of evil can never justify the existence of the State. If there is no evil, the State is unnecessary. If evil exists, the State is far too dangerous to be allowed to exist.”

“The main thing for inner contentment is to be in a state of grace. And there is an artistic state of grace, for art is a kind of religion.”
