“We are suffering today from a species of Christianity as dry as dust, as cold as ice, as pale as a corpse, and as dead as King Tut. We are suffering not from a lack of correct heads but of consumed hearts.”

“If we want to be Christians, we must have some share in Christ’s large-heartedness by acting with responsibility and in freedom when the hour of danger comes, and by showing a real sympathy that springs, not from fear , but from the liberating and redeeming love of Christ for all who suffer. Mere waiting and looking on is not Christian behavior. The Christian is called to sympathy and action, not in the first place by his own sufferings, but by the sufferings of his brethren, for whose sake Christ suffered.”

“They thought I suffered from lack of exterior, when I suffered from excess of interior”

“Boredom is the inner conflict we suffer when we lose desire, when we lack a lacking.”

“We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.-Sir Winston Churchill”

“The people suffer from famine because of the multitude of taxes consumed by their superiors.”
