“Do we have to stare death in the face to make us stand up and confront Resistance?”

“Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.”

“I am only mortal, desperate, urgent. Spirits have endless ages in which to do nothing, if they so choose, but humans have death to hurry them on. Near or far, the end is always in sight. We have no time to stand and stare. Make your choice, Fernanda.”

“...It isn't the problems along the way that make us or break us. It's how we learn to stand and face them that makes the difference.”

“We faced it and did not resist. The storm passed through us and around us. It's gone, but we remain.”

“It's high time that Christians made up their minds to do something . . . What are we going to show in the way of resistance-as compared to the Communists, for instance-when all this terror is over? We will be standing empty-handed. We will have no answer when we are asked: What did you do about it? ”
