Christos Yannaras
To share out your soul freely, that is what metanoia (a change of mind, or repentance)really refers to: a mental product of love. A change of mind, or love for the undemonstrable. And you throw off every conceptual cloak of self-defense, you give up the fleshly resistance of your ego. Repentance has nothing to do with self-regarding sorrow for legal transgressions. It is an ecstatic erotic self-emptying. A change of mind about the mode of thinking and being.
Christos Yannaras, Variations on the Song of Songs

Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
H.L. Mencken, A Mencken Chrestomathy
