• There are only two energies at the core of the human experience: love and fear. Love grants freedom, fear takes it away. Love invites full expression, fear punishes it. Love invites you, always, to break the bonds of ignorance.

• Do we get what we want? Yes, we get what we want. God is that
  loving. If we want isolation, despair, and the right to be our own
  god, God graciously grants us that option. If we insist on using our
  God-given pwer to make the world in our image, God allows us that
  freedom; we have the kind of license to do that.that's how love
  works. It cant be forced, manipulated, or coerced. It always leaves
  room for the other to decide. God says yes, we can have what we want,
  because love wins.

  Rob Bell

• Whatever prestige the bourgeoisie may today be willing to grant to fragmentary or deliberately retrograde artistic tentatives, creation can now be nothing less than a synthesis aiming at the construction of entire atmospheres and styles of life. . . .

• It is no wonder you are tempted; on the contrary, it would be something new if you were not, because man's life is nothing but temptation, and no one is exempt from it, especially those who have given themselves to God; his own Son even passed through this trial. But if it is necessary for everyone, it is also a source of merit for those to whom God grants the grace of turning all things to good, as you do.

• Ask for a valiant heart which has banished the fear of death, which looks upon length of days as one of the least of nature's gifts; which is able to suffer every kind of hardship, is proof against anger, craves for nothing, and reckons the trials and gruelling labours of Hercules as more desirable blessings than the amorous ease and the banquets and cushions of Sardanapallus. The things that I recommend you can grant to yourself.
