Quotes by Paul Evdokimov (?)

“The East is unfamiliar with those confessions, memoirs, and autobiographies so beloved in the West. There is a clear difference in tonality. One's gaze never lingers on the suffering humanity of Christ, but penetrates behind the kenotic veil. To the West's mysticism of the Cross and its veneration of the Sacred Heart corresponds the eastern mysticism of the sealed tomb, from which eternal life eternal wells up.”

“The ascetic remembrance of death is opposed to akedia, to anxiety, to depression, and becomes a powerful reminder of eternity, its joyful nostalgia.”

“The individual to whom one ascribes “a strong personality” merely presents a particular mixture of natural elements, with certain prominent traits. Despite these salient traits, such a person ultimately creates only the impression of déjà vu. A saint is striking because of a countenance unique in the world, because of a light that is always ultimately personal. He or she has never been seen before.”
― Paul Evdokimov, Woman and the Salvation of the World: A Christian Anthropology on the Charisms of Women
