“Man is truly human only when he transcends himself. He becomes small when he is content with things and values from his own life sphere.

― Alfred Delp, Advent of the Heart: Seasonal Sermons and Writings - 1941-1944

“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa

“Love transforms suffering into sacrifice.”
