It is here, my daughters, that love is to be found - not hidden away in corners but in the midst of occasions of sin. And believe me, although we may more often fail and commit small lapses, our gain will be incomparably the greater. (Teresa of Ávila)

Forgetting offences is a sign of sincere repentance. If you keep the memory of them, you may believe you have repented but you are like someone running in his sleep. Let no one consider it a minor defect, this darkness that often clouds the eyes even of spiritual people.

John Climacus

- How can you believe in God? Have you seen your God? - I haven't actually seen God. But I have performed many brain surgeries, and when I opened the skull, I never saw a mind in there either. And I never found a conscience there either.

Luke (Voyno-Yasenetsky)

Sinclair Lewis

We, their hearts, become fearful just thinking of loved ones who go away forever, or of moments that could have been good but weren't, or of moments that could have been found but were forever hidden in the sands.

Paulo Coelho

Connectivity just can't be a privilege for people in the richest countries. We believe that connecting everyone in the world is one of the great challenges of our generation. And that's why we are happy to play whatever small part in that that we can.
