“我們的觀念其實是與自我認知盤根糾結的。如果我說自己是環保主義者或保守派或老師，我說的不僅是自己的信念或價值觀—我所描繪的是我是個什麼樣的人。因此，當你攻擊我這一方時，你攻擊的是我和我的自我形象。如果推到極端，自我認知的衝突甚至可以引發戰爭。”

“It’s perhaps easier to understand this when we remember that the relationship between us and God is not simply one of power, not a question of who is in control, but a relationship of love. And love has a powerful—we might say irresistible—effect. When you feel that someone really loves you, you’re strongly drawn toward that person; you feel like a flower opening to the sun. It feels like we choose with our whole hearts to move toward that love. But what if God made us that way? Maybe we are programmed to respond like that to love, and couldn’t resist it if we tried. But if you try to imagine rejecting such love and turning away from it, it feels like you’re fighting against your free will, your deepest longing.”
