Quote by C. Andrew Doyle

“Reclaiming neighborliness as part of the communal life is essential to Christ’s vision. No person can live unto themselves. It is simply impossible. But, more importantly the personalization of neighborliness returns authority to the members of the small community the local church serves. Its members start to care for one another again, which taps into the inclusive DNA of the Jesus Movement.”

“As God, Christ, the Virgin, the prince of the apostles, and the shepherds labored, even so must we labor in our callings. God has no hands and feet of his own. He must continue his labors through human instruments. The lowlier the task the better. The milkmaid and the carter of manure are doing a work more pleasing to God than the psalm singing of a Carthusian. Luther never tired of defending those callings which for one reason or another were disparaged. The mother was considered lower than the virgin. Luther replied that the mother exhibits the pattern of the love of God, which overcomes sins just as her love overcomes dirty diapers.”

“Visst fanns det form och stil i litteraturen, i konsten, i musiken! Det fanns överallt, tyckte han. Allt var i djupare mening en fråga om stil. Men det fanns något annat också. Stilen i uppträdande och handlande, en oklanderlig form i levnadssätt, ett modus vivendi i den egna privata livsföringen, en hållning mitt i all hållningslösheten, en attityd av tillkämpad stil mitt i allt det stillösa och förkonstlade. Man måste ha stil, hade Fabian en gång sagt till honom, djupt allvarlig, medan hans blå, nästan glasartade blick mörknade av ett varmt patos. Stil i liv och dikt - det är det som det kommer an på. Man måste skriva med stil, leva med stil, kanske också dö med stil.”

“Be not sorry for what you have done. Be sorry for what you've got undobe. Just do what you can do with style. And you may live well a long while!”
