Kallistos Ware
“Faith in God, then, is not at all the same as the kind of logical certainty that we attain in Euclidean geometry. God is not the conclusion to a process of reasoning, the solution to a mathematical problem. To believe in God is not to accept the possibility of his existence because it has been “proved” to us by some theoretical argument, but it is to put our trust in One whom we know and love. Faith is not the supposition that something might be true, but the assurance that someone is there.”
Kallistos Ware, The Orthodox Way

Walt Whitman
“Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.”
Walt Whitman

Kallistos Ware
“If I do not feel a sense of joy in God's creation, if I forget to offer the world back to God with thankfulness, I have advanced very little upon the Way. I have not yet learnt to be truly human. For it is only through thanksgiving that I can become myself.”
Kallistos Ware, The Orthodox Way

V.S. Naipaul
“We violate no body so much as our own: towards it we display the perversity of the cat that constantly rips its wounds open.”
V.S. Naipaul, The Mimic Men

Erin Morgenstern
“We lead strange lives, chasing our dreams around from place to place.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus
