“He, too, was in the grip of rage and rhetoric. I saw that, attractive though his side of the political spectrum was. A cancerous violence had eaten into every political idea, had taken over the ideas themselves, and for so many, all that mattered was the willingness to do something. Action led to action, free of any moorings, and the way to be someone, the way to catch the attention of the young and recruit them to one's cause, was to be enraged. It seemed as if the only way this lure of violence could be avoided was by having no causes, by being magnificiently isolated from loyalties. But was that not an ethical lapse graver than rage itself?”

“Creí comprender lo que sintió san Pedro cuando sobrevivió a sus negaciones y recuperó su amistad con Cristo. Porque es verdad que, cuando el hombre empieza a confiar en sus propias capacidades, acaba de dar el primer paso en el camino hacia el fracaso final. Y la mayor gracia que Dios puede concederle es enviarle una prueba que no sea capaz de soportar con sus propias fuerzas… y sostenerlo con su gracia para que pueda perseverar hasta el final y salvarse.”
