“St. John Chrysostom said 'Find the door of your heart, you will discover it is the door of the kingdom of God.' So it is inward that we must turn, and not outward - but inward in a very special way. I'm not saying that we must become introspective. I don't mean that we must go inward in the way one does in psychoanalysis or psychology. It is not a journey into my own inwardness, it is a journey through my own self, in order to emerge from the deepest level of self into the place where He is, the point at which God and I meet.”
― Anthony Bloom, Beginning to Pray

“A misgiving was a warning voice from God, which should be attended to as a man valued his soul.”

“Some refuse the loan of life to avoid the debt of death.”
― Otto Rank, Will Therapy/Truth and Reality
