“I can't be a man in this society unless I am in opposition to power. So, resistance is always synonymous with humanity.”

“I'm not for organizations much - they seem to run people more than people run them.”

“Pike tried to harmonize rationalism with his hope, while most Christians tend to superstition in theirs. One is a humanist failing; the other deistic. Both tend to be unfaithful to Christ, who spoke of the last things only in a context dominated by the Judgment: 'For I was hungry and you gave me to eat.' Our Lord, it would seem, wished to emphasize that hope must correspond both to divine sonship and to human brotherhood. To center one's hope in man is to compromise the main expressions of hope - optimism, sacrifice, and death. And to center one's hope in God is to risk egotism, withdrawal, and despair.”
