“The knowledge of Good and Evil, no matter how systematically or thoroughly consumed, will by no means make us gods. Rather, modern ethics, modern psychotherapy, and modern political ideologies all tend to produce not superhumans but pitiable slaves to the rationalizations generated by our distorted human desires. In order to gain control over the world, we have been too willing to renounce essential aspects of our own freedom.”

“the wise and healthy soul is not a hamburger to be mass-produced by the billions through the application of some efficient technique! Such an attitude is part of my dissatisfaction with our current American psychology.”

“Paradoxically, the mercy that we are asking for is exactly this: the strength and the clean joy to do as He did, to empty ourselves to the farthest extreme out of love for others. The mercy we ask for, you see, is nothing less than a share in Christ’s own anointing by his Father – the descent of the Holy Spirit upon him. When that hits us, we find ourselves overwhelmed by the sweet longing to do what Christ also did in that anointing, which was to suffer for the life of the world.”
