“When you have wit of your own, it's a pleasure to credit other people for theirs.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Love is always ready to deny itself, to give, sacrifice, just in the measure of its sincerity and intensity. Perfect love is perfect self-forgetfulness. Hence where there is love in a home, unselfishness is the law. Each forgets self and lives for others.

But where there is selfishness it mars joy. One selfish soul will destroy the sweetness of life in any home. It is like an ugly bush in the midst of a garden of flowers. It was selfishness that destroyed the first home and blighted all the loveliness of Paradise; and it has been blighting lovely things in earth's home ever since. We need to guard against this spirit.”
― J.R. Miller

“Divinity for the sake of the simple-minded is beautiful. One is bound to make doctrinal mistakes, and in like manner, even the greatest thinkers have been and will be wrong at some points. Those theological assertions that you write, say, or live by, and later feel foolish about - that feeling could perhaps be the grace of God, still living inside you enough to tell you that they were indeed foolish. By mistakes you know you are alive.”
― Criss Jami, Salomé: In Every Inch In Every Mile
