“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”
― Søren Kierkegaard

“Dilige et quod vis fac. (Love and then what you will, do.)”
― Saint Augustine of Hippo

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses
