“Whatever the reasons, when forgiveness happens it is always a miracle of grace. The obstacles in its way are immense”

“The difference between justice and forgiveness: To be just is to condemn the fault and, because of the fault, to condemn the doer as well. To forgive is to condemn the fault but to spare the doer. That's what the forgiving God does.”

“Forgiveness flounders because I exclude the enemy from the community of humans and myself from the community of sinners.”

“Because the Christian God is not a lonely God, but rather a communion of three persons, faith leads human beings into the divine communion. One cannot, however, have a self-enclosed communion with the Triune God- a "foursome," as it were-- for the Christian God is not a private deity. Communion with this God is at once also communion with those others who have entrusted themselves in faith to the same God. Hence one and the same act of faith places a person into a new relationship both with God and with all others who stand in communion with God.”

“Poljubac, to je: videti stvari u slojevima. Zagrljaj: na dlanu imati duboke mekote usana. Dodir između dvoje: porama, a ne ušima, slušati večnost postojanja”

“It’s yad that propels us, like a motor, onward. Yad is like envy, but it’s not simply that. It’s like spite, rage, anger, but more elegant, more complicated. It’s like pity for someone, regret for something you did or did not do, for a chance you missed, for an opportunity you squandered.”

“Jedan brodolom više ili manje,za mene ionako ne menja stvarii nema uticaja na moju dugu.”
