• If you want to nourish a bird, you should let it live any way it chooses. Creatures differ because they have different likes and dislikes.

• The Word of God makes use of poetic imagery when discussing... formless intelligences but... it does not do so for the sake of art, but as a concession to the nature of our own mind.

  Papa Dionisio

• His Majesty knows best what is suitable for us. There's no need for us to be advising Him about what He should give us, for He can rightly tell us that we don't know what we're asking for (cf. Mt. 20:22). The whole aim of any person who is beginning prayer ? and don't forget this, because it's very important ? should be that he work and prepare himself with determination and every possible effort to bring his will into conformity with God's will.

  Teresa de Ávila

  Christian, Determination, Prayer

• Our leaders have described the recent atrocity with the customary cliche: mindless cowardice. Mindless may be a suitable word for the vandalising of a telephone box. It is not helpful for understanding what hit New York on September 11. Those people were not mindless and they were certainly not cowards. On the contrary, they had sufficiently effective minds braced with an insane courage, and it would pay us mightily to understand where that courage came from. It came from religion.

  Richard Dawkins

• En la adolescencia, a nadie le parece adecuado hacer tonterías. Una parte tan enorme de su propio comportamiento es una tontería que pierden toda perspectiva adecuada de la tontería, como un panadero que siente náuseas al ver sus propios eclairs. Esto proporciona otro buen argumento para la teoría emergente de que el mejor uso de la criogenia es congelar a todos los seres humanos cuando tienen entre doce y diecinueve años.
