“Singurătate, pulchra soror, aș vrea să-ți dau inima mea, dar tu ești inima mea, Soledad. Aș vrea să-ți dau amintirile mele, dar amintirile le avem împreună, aceleași, pentru că tu m-ai însoțit mereu. Te simțeam uneori ca o lumină răsfrântă de apele mării, mi-ai fost ceață și noapte, mi-ai fost putere. Mai ții minte desigur răsăritul acela pustiu, obosit ca un amurg. Sau după amiaza albă când moartea a încercat să-mi sfâșie inima cu gheara ei de cristal și când a biruit iubirea, lăsându-mă durerii și lumii. Ape limpezi se preling ca niște lacrimi negre pe piatra neagră a unei stânci, așa te simt uneori. Și te mai simt uneori purificată de orice întâmplări, formă pură. Soledad, mai e puțin și o să plecăm împreună, tineri cum am fost, peste vârste, mereu.”

“Sinn wird uns vor allem mit einem gelingenden Leben bewusst. Weil wir dabei aus Erfahrungen wissen, was gut für uns ist. Es ist aber ebenso wenig erstrebenswert wie zielführend, immerzu sinnerfüllt und glücklich zu sein. So wichtig es ist, Sinn zu stiften, Glück geschieht, es ist die Folge von Sinnhaftigkeit. Sinn ist immer subjektiv, er entsteht aus unseren Beziehungen zu anderen Menschen, zu bestimmten Dingen, zu unserem Tun. Weil es an uns liegt zu gewichten. Dabei geht es nie um einen übergeordneten Sinn, der uns wie Traditionen weitergegeben wird. Er ist auch nicht in Konventionen festschreibbar, Institutionen wie die Kirchen möchten ihn zwar vorgeben, missachten dabei aber allzu oft die Natur des Menschen. Sinn macht Energie frei, die mit Lebensfreude einhergeht. Wenn wir das »Richtige« tun und intensiv bei unserer Sache sind, stellt sich weder die Frage nach dem Glück noch jene nach dem Sinn. Wir selbst sind dann der Sinn, nach dem Glück brauchen wir uns dabei nicht mehr umzusehen. Es stellt sich von selbst ein. Als Prozess: zum Beispiel, wenn der Stärkere dem Schwächeren hilft.”

“Sinners in their natural state lie dead, lifeless, and moveless; they can no more believe in Christ, nor repent, than a dead man can speak or walk: but, in virtue of the promise, the Spirit of life from Christ Jesus, at the time appointed, enters into the dead soul, and quickens it; so that it is no more morally dead, but alive, having new spiritual powers put into it, that were lost by Adam's fall.”

“Sinners, your dear Lord Jesus, the great peacemaker, is now an important suitor to your perishing souls--namely, an inviting, knocking, waiting, promising Christ (Prov. 1:22; 9:4; Isa. 65:2; Matt. 11:28; Rev. 3:20; Song 5:2; John 6:37). The treasures of grace are opened and offered for sale on easy terms without money and without price (Isa. 55:1; Rev. 3:18). Oh make speed and come. Make the purchase. Buy the pearl of price that is better than rubies, and you will have treasure in heaven. The favor of God, precious blood, white raiment, tried gold, and the eternal life of your never-dying souls are worth the having. Consider also that now the Holy Spirit calls and offers His assistance to close the bargain, to tie the marriage knot between Christ and your souls (Hebrews 3). If you lose this opportunity, you may never have the like. "The Spirit and the bride say, Come" (Rev. 22:17).”

“Sinning persons are just like this boy who fell into the drain. Now, high or low, upgraded or degraded, all are equal. All are equal for Him because heaven is His creation, hell is His creation. If we say the Supreme is only in heaven, it will not be a correct utterance, because He is in hell also. His sons, His daughters, are never alone, He is with you even in hell.”
