Quote by Javier Marías

“[...] come se provasse tanto timore da preferire la paralisi assoluta di tutte le cose e rimanere almeno nello stato e nella posizione che le permettessero di continuare a vivere anziché osare una variazione, sia pure minima, che avrebbe potuto compromettere la sua momentanea stabilità del tutto precaria - la sua calma ormai temibile - e che le procurava il panico. Questo è ciò che fa il panico ed è ciò che di solito porta alla perdizione quanti lo subiscono: fa credere loro che, immersi nel male o nel pericolo, siano tuttavia in salvo.”

“Time is not possible without space. Everything beyond the “physical” world is either endless or eternal. Absolute void is endless and, therefore, nonexistent. Absolute void is space without space. In absolute space, every point is the same point. Absolute space is pointless and spaceless. A pointless point is out of space or place.”

“Many pastors think their greatest impact comes from preaching to many. Not true. Our greatest impact is in discipling a few. Jesus did life with the disciples in close proximity. You won’t create radical disciples from a pulpit; you’ll only create an audience. You must walk closely with people.”

“We are tempted (and encouraged) to believe that the kingdom of God spreads throughout the earth by presenting the gospel, through some pat formula, to strangers. That doesn't happen very often. The gospel spread throughout the world of the first centuries by conversations between close friends and relatives, business associates and neighbors-people with whom the passionate Christians already had personal contact. So today the Church grows and expands, and people come to maturity in Christ nearly always through the influence of people they already know and trust, like you. Even the most shy person among us talks to people every day. Most of that talk is idle chatter, not very useful for the advancement of God's kingdom. Every one of those less-than-redemptive conversations is a lost opportunity for extending the Lordship of Jesus. However, if we could learn to enhance the quality of our conversations, we could improve our ability to do what Jesus commanded-make disciples. We could turn that meaningless chatter into a means of God's grace, helping our friends become all God intends for them and enriching their lives (and our own) in the process.”
