“Christ did not die to save people, but to teach people how to save each other. This is, I have no doubt, a grave heresy, but it is also a fact.”
“If I could die saving two lives, I would, provided each of those two people were the kind of people who would die to save two more like them.”
“People don't save other people. People save themselves.”
“I don't see how any degree of faith can exclude the dismay, since Christ's faith did not save Him from dismay in Gethsemane. We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us: we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.”
“When I try to save other people am I trying to save myself? Am I covering up for my lack of strength by putting people back together?”
“We don't set out to save the world; we set out to wonder how other people are doing and to reflect on how our actions affect other people's hearts.”
