― Hans Urs von Balthasar, Prayer

― Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

“No fighter is more divine than one who can achieve victory through defeat. In the instant when he receives the deadly wound, his opponent falls to the ground, himself struck a final blow. For he strikes love and is thus himself struck by love. And by letting itself be struck, love proves what had to be proven: that it is indeed love.”
― Hans Urs von Balthasar, Heart of the World

“Man is the creature with a mystery in his heart that is bigger than himself.”
― Hans Urs von Balthasar, Prayer
