“The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.”

“There is a deep and natural craving in the human heart that can be satisfied nowhere except in God. Our being in this world is a test, a preparation for the deepest state of spiritual communion. But most of us, suppressing our deepest longings and disdaining God, seek satisfaction from this world. Such a path can lead only to despair.”

“We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings.”

“Humans crave knowledge, and when that craving ends, we are no longer human.”

“Courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest in the grateful and appreciating heart.”

“When people attempt to rebel against the iron logic of Nature, they come into conflict with the very same principles to which they owe their existence as human beings. Their actions against Nature must lead to their own downfall.”
