1 " We can never know who or what we are till we know at least something of what God is. "
― A.W. Tozer
2 " Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. "
― T.S. Eliot , The Sacred Wood
3 " Unavoidably, the life of contemplation is an everyday life, a life of fidelity in small matters, small services rendered in the spirit of warmth and love which lightens every burden. The sun’s brightness can from time to time (and perhaps often) be hidden in mist and cloud, but that is no reason for laying aside one’s daily work. Contemplation is work, and it goes on working even when the person praying derives no apparent satisfaction from it. Contemplation is a conversation in which I am at pains not to be boring, not to say and think the same thing every day; I use my imagination and creativity to offer God at least something of myself. "
― Hans Urs von Balthasar , Prayer
4 " Lord, please restore to us the comfort of merit and demerit. Show us that there is at least something we can do. Tell us that at the end of the day there will at least be one redeeming card of our very own. Lord, if it is not too much to ask, send us to bed with a few shreds of self-respect upon which we can congratulate ourselves. But whatever you do, do not preach grace. Give us something to do, anything; but spare us the indignity of this indiscriminate acceptance. "
― Robert Farrar Capon , Between Noon & Three: Romance, Law & the Outrage of Grace
5 " Okay, don't get mad." She pulled out my stake --- or at least something that looked like my stake,only the hilt of it was now covered in bright blue crystals and diamond-like gems." You Bedazzled my stake?" " Um ... Surprise," April said, " Just because you're hunting nasty stuff doesn't mean you can't do it in style. "
