If we truly think of Christ as our source of holiness, we shall refrain from anything wicked or impure in thought or act and thus show ourselves to be worthy bearers of his name. For the quality of holiness is shown not by what we say but by what we do in life.

Gregory of Nyssa

Christ's kingdom is not of this world, and the world cannot bear it. We constantly rebel, try to make life easier, try to be half-Christian, try to make the best of both worlds. We must ultimately choose - our felicity lies in one world or the other, not in both.

Mark Z. Danielewski

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
