Thomas Merton
“In those days I learned the name Hesperides, and it was from these things that I unconsciously built up the vague fragments of a religion and of a philosophy, which remained hidden and implicit in my acts, and which, in due time, were to assert themselves in a deep and all-embracing attachment to my own judgment and my own will and a constant turning away from subjection, towards the freedom of my own ever-changing horizons.”
Thomas Merton, The Seven Storey Mountain

Justo L. González
“What did the Aztec population understand when the first Franciscan missionaries spoke to them? How have women heard a gospel preached mostly by men?”
justo L. González, The Story of Christianity: Volume 2: The Reformation to the Present Day

“there was one place they could generate a field without fail—the ground beneath their feet. Otherwise, the hundred-meter-tall giants wouldn’t have been able to walk across any stretch of ground—no matter how well engineered or fortified—without sinking.

That might sound too convenient to be plausible, but former Nerv executives had taken the phenomenon very seriously, and they’d left their records behind for the current staff.

The limits of the human form—

Humans cannot escape the ground. We are destined to crawl around in the dirt forever—to smear ourselves with it.

Ikuto Yamashita, Neon Genesis Evangelion: Anima, Vol. 1

“The Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu conjectured that you cannot grow until you confront the void within.”
Michelle LeClair, Perfectly Clear: Escaping Scientology and Fighting for the Woman I Love

Hanya Yanagihara
“I know it is not a very popular thing to say, but I have always believed, even before this occasion, that certain ethnic groups are predisposed to certain types of behavior or, perhaps more accurately, naturally endowed with certain characteristics. The Germans and Japanese, for example (and I don't think it possible to dispute this), have an organic predilection for a particular brand of refined cruelty, the French for a kind of glamorous laziness that they have managed to pass off as languor, the Russians for alcoholism, the Koreans for surliness, the Chinese for parsimoniousness, the English for homosexuality.”
Hanya Yanagihara, The People in the Trees
