Howard Thurman
“Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
Howard Thurman, The Living Wisdom of Howard Thurman: A Visionary for Our Time

Luigi Giussani
“And here is the alternative in which man risks himself, even if almost unconsciously: either you face reality wide open, loyally, with the bright eyes of a child, calling a spade a spade, embracing its entire presence, even its meaning; either this, or you place yourself in front of reality, defend yourself against it, almost with your arms flung in front of your eyes to ward off unwelcomed and unexpected blows.”
Luigi Giussani, The Religious Sense

Alan Dean Foster
“The thing all writers do best is find ways to avoid writing.”
Alan Dean Foster

“It is also possible to say precisely why. Truth seduces us very easily into a kind of joy of possession: I have comprehended this and that, learned it, understood it. Knowledge is power. I am therefore more than the other man who does not know this and that. I have greater possibilities and also greater temptations. Anyone who deals with truth - as we theologians certainly do - succumbs all too easily to the psychology of the possessor. But love is the opposite of the will to possess. It is self-giving. It boasteth not itself, but humbleth itself.”
Helmut Thielicke, A Little Exercise for Young Theologians

Luigi Giussani
“True solitude does not come from being physically alone but from the discovery that a fundamental problem of ours cannot find its solution in us or in others.”
Luigi Giussani, Christ, God's Companionship with Man
