"“The important thing is to understand that in the struggle for freedom and Socialism the uniting revolutionary element was violence ; now instead we add as the revolutionary uniting element this passion for nonviolent activity open to total liberation”."

“To confess to freedom, the highest habit;”

“I wanted to go away, in the midst of something entirely different,”

“From a high tower I have looked to the four points of the horizon.”

““We approach one another as if we were separate entities and see the other only from a limited point of view – not as part of us; we do not open ourselves to others with complete faith. When we first encounter objects or persons we think, because of this feeling of separateness, that they are just as we find them and nothing else. But if my attitude towards this person is of love, interest, oneness, then I will lose that first impression of having accidentally found them and will grow beyond my limitations towards something at once more intimate and more vast.”

““Every act involves a discovery of finite beings and seeing them as such, one understands ever better the reality of God’s presence, since finiteness by itself would be insufficient. God is the continuous miracle. It may be said that if it is continuous it is no longer a miracle. But miracle there is, although it does not consist in any outstanding or exceptional event. The miracle is that without God all finite things and their mutual relationships fade away into abstractions – whereas with God, they live in our spirit, in a conscious relationship. The essential construction of reality lies in this and not in the activism of the materialists who have little awareness of the intimate religious relationship.”

“The true synthesis is only with the unforeseen.”
