“From bitter searching of the heart,quickened with passion and with painwe riseto play a greater part this is the faith from which we start.”

“Faith is a marvel, and yet no human being is excluded from it; for that in which all human life is united is passion, and faith is a passion.”

“Passion presented with a greater challenge achieves a greater goal.-- from The Sexual Side of Spirituality”

“(from the short story The Honorary Shepherds)...you can't be kicked out of a faith. Faith starts inside your heart and ends up in eternity. All you can be kicked out of is a building, which is the bus stop of faith, sort of, and what's a building?”

“A strange passion is moving in my head My heart has become a bird which searches in the sky. Every part of me goes in different directions. Is it really so that the one I love is Everywhere?”

“…In the end we are all just searching for truth, that which is greater than ourselves.”
