“When you come to knowing God, the initiative lies on his side. If He does not show Himself, nothing you can do will enable you to find Him. And, in fact, He shows much more of Himself to some people than to others - not because He has favourites, but because it is impossible for Him to show himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong condition. Just as sunlight, though it has no favourites, cannot be reflected in a duty mirror as clearly as in a clean one.”

“One can never satisfy a closed mind”

“There is the great lesson of 'Beauty and the Beast,' that a thing must be loved before it is lovable.”

“Unlike the Bolsheviks, who were hardened revolutionaries, SJWs get their way not by shedding blood, but by shedding tears”
