“the real "work" of prayer is to become silent and listen to the voice that says good things about me.

To gently push aside and silence the many voices that question my goodness and to trust that I will hear the voice of blessing-- that demands real effort. ”
― Henri J.M. Nouwen, Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World

“Pobres tus padres, pobre tú, cuando os encontréis, ciegos de ojos, ciegos de sentimientos, porque los sentimientos con que hemos vivido y que nos hicieron vivir como éramos, nacieron de los ojos que teníamos, sin ojos serán diferentes los sentimientos, no sabemos cómo, no sabemos cuáles, tú dices que estamos muertos porque estamos ciegos, ahí está.”
― Jose Saramago, Blindness

“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce

“Eso le va dando a la vida un sentido y va pasando sabroso, porque el oficio de vivir consiste en sobrellevar con provecho este largo tiempo que nos fue concebido para existir dentro de él. Puede ser triste y amargo, o puede ser dulce. Por eso, los que triunfan, sonríen".”
― Santiago Gamboa
