1 " The tamer my love, the farther away it is from love. In fierceness, in heat, in longing, in risk, I find something of love's nature.

7 " I'm in favour of religion as a tamer of arrogance. For a Greek Orthodox, the idea of God as creator outside the human is not God in God's terms. My God isn't the God of George Bush. "
