“I hate what G.P. calls the New People, the new class people with their cars and their money and their tellies and their stupid vulgarities and their stupid crawling imitations of the bourgeoisie. (...) The New People are still the poor people, it is the new form of poverty. The others hadn't any money and these haven't any soul.”

“How can we embrace poverty as a way to God when everyone around us wants to become rich? Poverty has many forms. We have to ask ourselves: 'What is my poverty?' Is it lack of money, lack of emotional stability, lack of a loving partner, lack of security, lack of safety, lack of self-confidence? Each human being has a place of poverty. That’s the place where God wants to dwell! 'How blessed are the poor,' Jesus says (Matthew 5:3). This means that our blessing is hidden in our poverty. We are so inclined to cover up our poverty and ignore it that we often miss the opportunity to discover God, who dwells in it. Let’s dare to see our poverty as the land where our treasure is hidden.”

“મને એ ખબર નથી પડતી કે: કઈ રીતે એક સ્થળ...માત્ર એક જગ્યા...આટલી બધી પેઢીઓથી કેટલાયે માણસોના દુઃખ મિટાવી શકે? માત્ર ચીકણી માટીમાંથી બનાવેલી એક મૂર્તિ અને તેના પર થોડી શણગાર અને સજાવટ. માત્ર ઇંટોથી ચણેલી એક કબર અને તેના પર કાપડ ની ચાદર. બીજું કઈ નહિ. એક પથ્થરના ટુકડા સિવાય બીજું કઈ જ નહિ. જો ઈશ્વર પથ્થરના ટુકડામાં રહેતો હોય...તો પછી ભૂખ્યા મરી જતા લાચાર માણસોમાં નહિ રહેતો હોય? તમારી શ્રદ્ધાનું નામ દઈને તમે કહી દો છો કે- માણસને શ્રદ્ધા હોય તો પથ્થરમાં પણ ભગવાન દેખાય. પથ્થરની પણ પૂજા થાય! હું કહું છું કે- જો લોકોને પથ્થરના ચણેલા મંદિરમાં ભગવાન દેખાતો હોય તો પછી તેને ઘર વગરના માણસમાં પણ દેખાવો જોઈએ. ભૂખ્યા મરી જતા ભીખારીમાં પણ દેખાવો જોઈએ.”
