“Ningún creyente normal y sano escoge jamás sufrir. Escoge la voluntad de Dios, como lo hizo Jesús, tanto si sufre como si no. Y ningún santo debería interferir con la lección del sufrimiento aprendida en la vida de otro. El creyente que satisface al corazón de Jesús hará a otros santos fuertes y maduros para Dios.”

“Gender is a reality, and a more fundamental reality than sex. Sex is, in fact, merely the adaptation to organic life of a fundamental polarity which divides all created beings. Female sex is simply one of the things that have feminine gender; there are many others, and Masculine and Feminine meet us on planes of reality where male and female would be simply meaningless. Masculine is not attenuated male, nor feminine attenuated female. On the contrary the male and female of organic creatures are rather faint and blurred reflections of masculine and feminine. Their reproductive functions, their differences in strength and size, partly exhibit, but partly also confuse and misrepresent, the real polarity.”
