Flannery O'Connor
“Those who have no absolute values cannot let the relative remain merely relative; they are always raising it to the level of the absolute.”
Flannery O'Connor, Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose

Georgia O'Keeffe
“I think it's so foolish for people to want to be happy. Happy is so momentary--you're happy for an instant and then you start thinking again. Interest is the most important thing in life; happiness is temporary, but interest is continuous.”
Georgia O'Keefe

David P. Murray
“Many of our problems happen not only because we do the wrong things, but also because we believe the wrong things. Behind many seemingly practical problems are theological problems.”
David P. Murray, Reset: Living a Grace-Paced Life in a Burnout Culture

David P. Murray
“Retired pastor Al Martin told me that he was frequently contacted by young pastors he had trained who were just months into their ministries. They would say: “Help, Pastor Martin! I can’t pray, I can’t study, I can’t sleep, I can’t go on. I think I’m going to have to resign.” “Here’s your problem,” Pastor Martin would calmly reply. “You’re trying to live like a disembodied angel rather than flesh-and-blood humanity. Here’s your solution: first, exercise vigorously three times a week. Second, take one full day off a week. And third, spend at least one evening a week with your wife.”
David P. Murray, Reset: Living a Grace-Paced Life in a Burnout Culture

Blaise Pascal
Atheists. What grounds have they for saying that no one can rise from the dead? Which is harder, to be born or to rise again? That what has never been should be, or that what has been should be once more? Is it harder to come into existence than to come back? Habit makes us find the one easy, while lack of habit makes us find the other impossible.”
Blaise Pascal, Pensées
