• En el silencio de un atardecer de pleno invierno, se oye un sonido tan débil que, por lo que parece, podría ser sólo el sonido del propio silencio. Aguantas la respiración para escuchar. Es consciente de los latidos de su corazón. Lo extraordinario que está a punto de suceder sólo tiene parangón con el momento extraordinario justo antes de que suceda. Adviento es el nombre de ese momento.

• Everybody prays whether [you think] of it as praying or not. The odd silence you fall into when something very beautiful is happening or something very good or very bad. The ah-h-h-h! that sometimes floats up out of you as out of a Fourth of July crowd when the sky-rocket bursts over the water. The stammer of pain at somebody else s pain. The stammer of joy at somebody else's joy. Whatever words or sounds you use for sighing with over your own life. These are all prayers in their way.

• The trouble with steeling yourself against the harshness of reality is that the same steel that secures your life against being destroyed secures your life also against being opened up and transformed by the holy power that life itself comes from. You can survive on your own. You can grow strong on your own. You can even prevail on your own. But you cannot become human on your own.

• To journey for the sake of saving our own lives is little by little to cease to live in any sense that really matters, even to ourselves, because it is only by journeying for the world's sake - even when the world bores and sickens and scares you half to death - that little by little we start to come alive.

• It is important to tell our secrets too because ... it makes it easier for other people to tell us a secret or two of their own, and exchanges like that have a lot to do with what being a family is all about and what being human is all about.

• Tu vida y mi vida fluyen la una en la otra como la ola fluye en la ola, y a menos que haya paz, alegría y libertad para ti, no puede haber verdadera paz, alegría o libertad para mí. Ver la realidad -no como esperamos que sea, sino como es- es ver que, a menos que vivamos el uno para el otro y en el otro y a través del otro, no vivimos realmente de manera muy satisfactoria; que sólo puede haber verdadera vida allí donde realmente hay, precisamente en este sentido, amor.

• De todos los poderes, el amor es el más poderoso y el más impotente. Es el más poderoso porque es el único que puede conquistar esa última y más inexpugnable fortaleza que es el corazón humano. Es el más impotente porque no puede hacer nada si no es con su consentimiento.

• There is a fragrance in the air, a certain passage of a song, an old photograph falling out from the pages of a book, the sound of somebody's voice in the hall that makes your heart leap and fills your eyes with tears. Who can say when or how it will be that something easters up out of the dimness to remind us of a time before we were born and after we will die?
