“We become the books we read.”
― Matthew Kelly

“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”

“لا أحس بنفسي، لا أحس بجسمي،
لا أحس بأني أحيا إذا لم أعانق
جسدا آخر.
ولماذا، اذا، لا أجاهر: كلا.
لا أريد الحياة اذا لم تكن بدعةً
ولماذا، اذا، لا أعيش كمثل الطبيعة، في لا مكان
وأقول لمنفاي: أنت الوطن
أيهذا الصديق العدو الزمن؟”

“Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.”
― C.S. Lewis
