"“ You know well, Olav, that motherless and friendless you are not–no Christian man is that. You, as we all, have the mightiest brother in Christ, our Lord, and his mother is your mother–and with her, I trust, is she, your mother who bore you. I have always thought that the Lady Sancta Maria prays yet more to her Son for those children who must grow up motherless year below than for us others.”" — Jan 11, 2026 07:17PM

“It isn’t something I have done. I’m doing it now, this very moment.”
“Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee.”

“God did not come to do away with suffering; he did not even come to explain it. He came to fill it with his presence.”

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”

“The more I love humanity in general the less I love man in particular. In my dreams, I often make plans for the service of humanity, and perhaps I might actually face crucifixion if it were suddenly necessary. Yet I am incapable of living in the same room with anyone for two days together. I know from experience. As soon as anyone is near me, his personality disturbs me and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men: one because he’s too long over his dinner, another because he has a cold and keeps on blowing his nose. I become hostile to people the moment they come close to me. But it has always happened that the more I hate men individually the more I love humanity.”

“all conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change. If you leave a white post alone it will soon be a black post. If you particularly want it to be white you must be always painting it again; that is, you must be always having a revolution. Briefly, if you want the old white post you must have a new white post.”
