Friedrich Nietzsche
“Doubt as sin. — Christianity has done its utmost to close the circle and declared even doubt to be sin. One is supposed to be cast into belief without reason, by a miracle, and from then on to swim in it as in the brightest and least ambiguous of elements: even a glance towards land, even the thought that one perhaps exists for something else as well as swimming, even the slightest impulse of our amphibious nature — is sin! And notice that all this means that the foundation of belief and all reflection on its origin is likewise excluded as sinful. What is wanted are blindness and intoxication and an eternal song over the waves in which reason has drowned.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Daybreak: Thoughts on the Prejudices of Morality

T. Rafael Cimino
“Your right of religious freedom ends where my right of religious abstinence begins...”
T. Rafael Cimino, Mid Ocean

Charlotte Brontë
“We should acknowledge God merciful, but not always for us comprehensible.”
Charlotte Brontë, Villette

“The Weaver

My life is but a weaving
between my Lord and me;
I cannot choose the colors
He worketh steadily.

Oft times He weaveth sorrow
And I, in foolish pride,
Forget He sees the upper,
And I the underside.

Not til the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why.

The dark threads are as needful
In the Weaver's skillful hand,
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.”
Benjamin Malachi Franklin

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
“it seemed as if hell were put into His cup; He seized it, and at one tremendous draught of love, He drank damnation dry.”
Charles Spurgeon


Larry Crabb
“I find it much easier to counsel than to be counseled, to reach out to a friend in my small group who is feeling insercure than to reveal my own inseurity. The truth is we don't much like being dependent. We don't enjoy admitting how depeately we long for someone's kindness and involvement. It's so humbling.”
Larry Crabb

John C. Polkinghorne
“If we are seeking to serve the God of truth then we should really welcome truth from whatever source it comes. We shouldn’t fear the truth. Some of it will be from science, obviously, but by no means all of it. It will sometimes by perplexing, how this bit of truth relates to that bit of truth; we know that within science itself often enough and we find it outside of science as well. The crucial thing is to be honest.”
John Polkinghorne

Joko Pinurbo
“Sesungguhnya aku ini seorang penganggur.
Aku lebih banyak bingung dan menyibukkan diri dengan perkara-perkara remeh
hanya untuk menjaga penampilanku di hadapanMu.
(Penganggur,1989)”
Joko Pinurbo

Bangambiki Habyarimana

Larry Crabb
“The problem sincere Christians have with God often comes down to a wrong understanding of what this life is meant to provide.”
Larry Crabb

Larry Crabb
“I hear Jesus telling us to stop negotiating with Him, to stop offering something we think we have in exchange for His blessings.”
Larry Crabb

Sage Steadman
“She had walked to the brink, abandoning all belief, and just before the bitter end, she was pulled from the abyss by faith.”
Sage Steadman, Upon Destiny's Song

Christopher Hitchens
“The connection between religious faith and mental disorder is, from the viewpoint of the tolerant and the "multicultural," both very obvious and highly unmentionable.”
Christopher Hitchens

John H.D. Lucy
“Even if a man spends his life staring at shadows, he will still know where the sun is.”
John H.D. Lucy

“La fe y el amor son el conjunto perfecto para recibir el abrazo de Dios diariamente en nuestras vidas”
Theiska Castillo Medina, Se Fijó en mí

Friedrich Nietzsche
“The whole morality of the Sermon on the Mount belongs here; man takes a truly voluptuous pleasure in violating himself by exaggerated demands and then deifying this something in his soul that is so tyrannically taxing. In each ascetic morality, man prays to one part of himself as god and also finds its necessary to diabolify the rest.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits

Noorilhuda
“For all the largesse of my mind’s colony where a vividly enflamed man would take off each of the precious stones and melt away the cast, his success ultimately lay in being nice to me, being nice to himself irrespective of the behavior of each; of being proud of me and of himself irrespective of worldly success; holding me in regard with an almost primitive sense of courage, irrespective of the purity of my body or spirit.”
Noorilhuda, The Governess

“Are you saying that truth, goodness, and beauty are to be found in books? But they are from God - aren't they to be found in the Mass? In the Eucharist?

Yes, the Mass and the Eucharist are where God allows us to touch those transcendentals, indeed to touch and consume Himself, but in books - in music, in art, in the life well-lived - when we have an earnest desire to know and to love the human person, that is where we give those gifts back to God.”

“True beauty shines from within, where virtue and character illuminate a person's heart. Esther's story teaches us that outer beauty can be a gift, but inner strength, faith, and courage are what truly define us. A woman of integrity honors her values, seeks wisdom, and trusts in a higher power. In the face of uncertainty, she stands firm, willing to take risks for what is right. By embracing both inner and outer beauty, we can live with purpose, confidence, and grace.”
Shaila Touchton

“When we enter the abundance God has promised, the greatest danger is not the enemy without, but the tendency to forget and forsake the Lord within. To truly possess the promise, we must remain devoted to Him, fearing Him, obeying His commands, and doing what is right. A life that delights in the Lord is marked by trust, obedience, and a pursuit of what is good. When we prioritize God above all else, it goes well with us, and we experience the fullness of His promise. Forgetting God leads to judgment, but remembering Him brings blessing and victory. By staying devoted to the Lord, we inherit the land and see our enemies cast out.”
Shaila Touchton

B.S. Murthy
“What an irony that modern man, engaged as he is in the pursuit of knowledge, allows himself to be stymied by the dogmas of the Dark Ages, perpetrated as religious tenets.”
B.S. Murthy, Benign Flame: Saga of Love
