"The glory of God is man, fully alive."
-Irenaeus
"The circumstances of our life are different, but the reality of our hearts is the same. If I were in his place, would I act any differently than him? I have no idea. At least I know that I should need friends who loved me unreservedly just as I am, with all my weaknesses, and who would trust me without judging me."
-Paul Tournier
"A test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care for the old, the incurable, the helpless are the true gold mines of a culture."
-Abraham Joshua Heschel
"I think writes like John Updike and Walker Percy, who have strong Christian sensibilities, may choose a sexual affair as a symbol of grace in their novels. They are speaking the language our culture understands: grace as a rumor, not as a doctrine."
-Philip Yancey
"It is a terrible thing, I found, to be grateful and have no one to thank, to be awed and have no one to worship."
-Philip Yancey
