“Never mistake the uncomfortable feeling of insecurity and the fear of the unknown with the Holy Ghost’s promptings. Sometimes those feelings are simply Satan keeping you stuck where you are because he knows you will have a half-life there. He knows that you will spend half of your life disconnected, discontented and convincing your mind of what its heart will never accept. He knows when you have settled, gave up and didn’t try. Inaction is his greatest weapon, while regret is his second.”

“But even if I know what governs their trajectory, if I know the rules of the movement of things and how things are organized and how certain mutations, transformations, gestations take place, even if I know all that, I shall only have learnt how to get along after a fashion in the enormous gaol, the oppressive prison in which I am held. What a farce, what a snare, what a booby-trap. We were born cheated. For if we are not to know, if there is nothing to know, why do we have this longing to know?”

“Throughout, the story of mankind has shown that man's profound thinking has not been enough to serve the needs of his existential life: Man began to experience a need to formulate what he believed in and still believes in, what gives his faith a solid structure in order to serve as a guideline for his life and his faith. It was, in fact, religion which gave him this solid guideline, because it encompassed the essence of human nature: unity and division, love and hatred, forgiveness and revenge, certainty and uncertainty as well as the spiritual meaning of life and death.”
