Léon Bloy
“The worst evil is not to commit crimes, but to fail to do the good one might have done.”
Leon Bloy

Jean Vanier
“To be lonely is to feel unwanted and unloved, and therefor unloveable. Loneliness is a taste of death. No wonder some people who are desperately lonely lose themselves in mental illness or violence to forget the inner pain.”
Jean Vanier, Becoming Human

Dylan Thomas
“Though lovers be lost, love shall not; And death shall have no dominion.”
Dylan Thomas

Pope Francis
“The question of truth is really a question of memory, deep memory, for it deals with something prior to ourselves and can succeed in uniting us in a way that transcends our petty and limited individual consciousness. It is a question about the origin of all that is, in whose light we can glimpse the goal and thus the meaning of our common path.”
Pope Francis, Lumen Fidei: Enciclica sulla Fede

Peter Kreeft
“Léon Bloy wrote: 'Life holds only one tragedy: not to have been a saint”
Peter Kreeft, Prayer for Beginners
