“We should not shed tearsThat is a surrender of the body to the heartIt is only proofThat we are beings that do not knowWhat to do with out hearts”

“We must never shed tearsThat is the life form’s defeat and if we give into the emotions then it only becomes proof of our inability to control it.”

“Nothing forces us to knowWhat we do not want to knowExcept pain”

“We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can - namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.”

“To live, we must daily break the body and shed the blood of Creation. When we do this knowingly, lovingly, skillfully, reverently, it is a sacrament. When we do it ignorantly, greedily, clumsily, destructively, it is a desecration. In such desecration we condemn ourselves to spiritual and moral loneliness, and others to want.”

“When we are young we cannot knowwhat it is like to bigger growbut why do grown-ups great and tallso soon forget they once were small.”
