“A brick could be used to save humanity from mortality. Or at least save us from mortar. ”
“God save us from religion.”
“God save us from gloomy saints!”
“we must be precise with love, its language and its gestures. If it is to save us, we must look at it as clearly as we should learn to look at death”
“Perhaps it would sound too paradoxical to say that these two saints saved us from Spirituality; a dreadful doom. Perhaps it may be misunderstood if I say that St. Francis, for all his love of animals, saved us from being Buddhists; and that St. Thomas, for all his love of Greek philosophy, saved us from being Platonists. But it is best to say the truth in its simplest form; that they both reaffirmed the Incarnation, by bringing God back to earth.”
