Thaddeus of Vitovnica
“All things here on this earth,” said Fr. Thaddeus, “all that is good and also all that is not, everything comes from our thoughts. Our thoughts determine our whole life. If our thoughts are destructive, we will have no peace. If they are quiet, meek and simple, our life will be the same, and we will have peace within us.”
Thaddeus of Vitovnica, Our Thoughts Determine Our Lives: the Life and Teachings of Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica

“Your suffering does not make you special, it does not make your life more interesting, significant or heroic. It does not make for a better story. It doesn't even make you worthy of love or compassion.”
Alan Noble

David Bentley Hart
“Surely this is the profoundest truth in the doctrine of resurrection. That we must rise from the dead to be saved is a claim not simply about resumed corporeality, whatever that might turn out to be, but more crucially about the fully restored existence of the person as socially, communally, corporately constituted.”
David Bentley Hart, That All Shall Be Saved: Heaven, Hell, and Universal Salvation

Abraham   Verghese
“Faith is to know the pattern is there, even though none is visible.”
Abraham Verghese, The Covenant of Water

David Bentley Hart
“mere three score and ten years to get it right if we are fortunate, and then an eternity of agony in which to rue the consequences if we get it wrong—he would never dare to bring a child into this world, let alone five children; nor would he be able to rest even for a moment, because he would be driven ceaselessly around the world in a desperate frenzy of evangelism, seeking to save as many souls from the eternal fire as possible. I think of”
David Bentley Hart, That All Shall Be Saved: Heaven, Hell, and Universal Salvation
