“The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate us. It's for you I created the universe. I love you. There's only one catch. Like any other gift, the gift of grace can be yours only if you'll reach out and take it. Maybe being able to reach out and take it is a gift too.”
― Frederick Buechner

“If there is no friendship with them [the poor] and no sharing of the life of the poor, then there is no authentic commitment to liberation, because love exists only among equals.”
― Gustavo Gutiérrez, A Theology of Liberation

“True love exists only among equals, “for love effects a likeness between the lover and the object loved.”23 And this supposes an ability to approach others and respect their sensitivities.”
― Gustavo Gutiérrez, We Drink from Our Own Wells: The Spiritual Journey of a People

“I believe in the hands that work, in the brains that think, and in the hearts that love...I believe in sunshine, fresh air, friendship, calm sleep, beautiful thoughts.”
― Elbert Hubbard
