"Our alienation from God also includes our alienation from ourselves and explains it. Without him, the internal dialogue we can have with ourselves would lack all mystery and lose most of its metaphysical interest." - Maurice Nedeoncelle
"Just as the we tend to adopt from the reigning political paradigm of the surrounding culture our sense of how the Church should structure itself -- monarchial in the age of monarchies, democratic in the age of democracy -- so, too, do we adopt the prevailing notions of what personal life consists of. But in both cases, we do injustice to the radical specificity of Christianity." - Gil Bailie
"The revolution of the person," writes Paul Evdokimov, "is the event of Christianity," and human desire is simply "the inborn nostalgia to become a 'person.'"
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. - William Shakespeare
