“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.”
― C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

“Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“The East is unfamiliar with those confessions, memoirs, and autobiographies so beloved in the West. There is a clear difference in tonality. One's gaze never lingers on the suffering humanity of Christ, but penetrates behind the kenotic veil. To the West's mysticism of the Cross and its veneration of the Sacred Heart corresponds the eastern mysticism of the sealed tomb, from which eternal life eternal wells up.”
― Paul Evdokimov, Orthodoxy

“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
