God is not a hypothesis derived from logical assumptions, but an immediate insight, self-evident as light. He is not something to be sought in the darkness with the light of reason. He is the light.

A test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care for the old, the incurable, the helpless are the true gold mines of a culture.

He who is satisfied has never truly craved, and he who craves for the light of God neglects his ease for ardor.

Man is a messenger who forgot the message.

The issue of prayer is not prayer; the issue of prayer is God.

A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time, at all times, who suffers harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest strength is love and defiance of despair.

Prayer begins at the edge of emptiness.

Indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself. It is a silent justification affording evil acceptability in society.

Pagans exalt sacred things, the Prophets extol sacred deeds.

Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.

A prophet's true greatness is his ability to hold God and man in a single thought.

The higher goal of spiritual living is not to amass a welth of information, but to face sacred moments.

No amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

I am what you might call abstractly anti-capitalist. For instance, I am suspicious of the old leftists who focus all their hatred on the United States. What about Chinese neo-colonialism? Why are the left silent about that? When I say this, it annoys them, of course. Good!

Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

There is no detachment where there is no pain. And there is no pain endured without hatred or lying unless detachment is present too.

Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.

All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.

You know what black hatred women feel toward me as soon as they see me, until I return inside my shell, they use every possible weapon. As soon as a generous man tries to help me out, a woman is here to hold his arm and prevent him from acting.
