Quotes

  • We all of us try to make God in our image. It is one of the worst of our temptations.
  • In this world death has a habit of intervening before we can pay our debts, and the only thing to be done is to pay them to another.
  • Human nature is intractable stuff, hard jagged stuff, the kind of stuff that dreams are wrecked on.
  • A sense of identity is the gift of love, and only love can give it.
  • There is no greater tyranny than that of social custom.
  • For unbelief was easier than belief, much less demanding and subtly flattering because the agnostic felt himself to be intellectually superior to the believer. And then unbelief haunted by faith, as she knew by experience, produced a rather pleasant nostalgia, while belief haunted by doubt involved real suffering.
