"The discovery of Christ is never genuine
if it is nothing but a flight from ourselves.
On the contrary, it cannot be an escape.
It must be a fulfillment.
I cannot discover God in myself
and myself in Him unless I have the courage
to face myself exactly as I am,
with all my limitations,
and to accept others as they are,
with all their limitations. "

"Anxiety is the mark of spiritual insecurity. It is the fruit of unanswered questions. But questions cannot go unanswered unless they first be asked. And there is a far worse anxiety, a far worse insecurity, which comes from being afraid to ask the right questions - because they might turn out to have no answer. One of the moral diseases we communicate to one another in society comes from huddling together in the pale light of an insufficient answer to a question we are afraid to ask."
