“The criminal who revolted against society hates it, and considers himself in the right; society was wrong, not he. Has he not, moreover, undergone his punishment? Accordingly he is absolved, acquitted in his own eyes.

― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The House of the Dead

“Christianity is a life, not a doctrine . . . I'm not saying never doubt or question. The Lord gave you a mind so that you would make honest use of it. I'm saying you must be sure that the doubts and questions are your own.”
― Marilynne Robinson, Gilead

“When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.”

“There is never a majestic mountain without a deep valley, and there is no birth without pain. ”
