“Falling in love with a place and falling in love with a person are related adventures. At first we run around street corners giggling and explore every inch of each other’s skin, over the years we get to know every cobblestone and strand of hair and snore, and the waters of time soften our passion into unfailing love, and in the end the eyes we wake up next to and the horizon outside our window are the same thing: home.”

“The minute a giver realizes that the majority of people did not need help, they were just taking advantage of their kindness, they stop helping, even in cases where others now require real help, because they end up assuming everyone is an ungrateful taker, based on their experience. It is very important for a giver to learn the art of giving so that they can give well and not be taken advantage of.”

“As to the common people, ... one has to be hard with them and see that they do their work and that under the threat of the sword and the law they comply with the observance of piety, just as you chain up wild beasts. All our experience with history should teach us, when we look back, how badly human wisdom is betrayed when it relies on itself. Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but -- more frequently than not -- struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God. Reason should be destroyed in all Christians. Reason is the Devil's greatest whore; by nature and manner of being she is a noxious whore; she is a prostitute, the Devil's appointed whore; whore eaten by scab and leprosy who ought to be trodden under foot and destroyed, she and her wisdom ... Throw dung in her face to make her ugly. She is and she ought to be drowned in baptism... She would deserve, the wretch, to be banished to the filthiest place in the house, to the closets.”

“Just because a person says they are Christian it does not mean they are emotionally evolved. Churches are full of spiritually dysfunctional people that stumbled into the church because of some wound they received in life from another person. Everyone is at their unique stage of spiritual evolution. Some can ask for forgiveness or forgive others. Then there are some that only believe in the old testament- an eye for an eye. Expect nothing from people that call themselves Christian and you won't be disappointed.”
