“لا تكون رحلة النضوج هذه سهلة أبدا , بل إنها تشبه أحيانا احتراقا داخليا, ألم عظيم و مشقة ليست أثل من ألم و مشقة و معاناة الولادة,و ليست أقل قداسة في الوقت نفسه, فتغيير الذات مخاض عسير و صامت , الصراخ معه لا يجدي كما قد ينفع مع آلام المخاض الاعتيادي , بل هو يحتاج إلى صبر دؤوب و اصطبار حقيقي و متابعة لهذا الصير و ذلك الاصطبار ... و ينتج من ذلك كله معاناة حقيقية هي في جوهرها احتراق حقيقي , وصولا إلى النضوج ..إلى التغيير”

“يمكن للصلاة عندما تكون حقا صلاة , أن تكون خبزنا , لأنها ستعلمنا كيف نكون ناضجين بما فيه الكفاية لنصنع خبزنا بأنفسنا , الصلاة هي خبزنا الحقيقي لأنها ستجعلنا راشدين بما فيه الكفاية لنزرع قمحنا و نسقيه و نرعاه و من ثم نحصده لنطحنه و نأكل خبزنا من صنع أيدينا.”

“When Alex left for Alaska," Franz remembers, "I prayed. I asked God to keep his finger on the shoulder of that one; I told him that boy was special. But he let Alex die.

I decided I couldn't believe in a God who would let something that terrible happen to a boy like Alex.”

“ليس هناك ما هو أفظع من قهر الأحرار ، فقلوبهم التي تنبض بسلام .. أو تتدفق رحمة تصبح في لحظة اذلال براكين وشواظ من نار ونحاس ..

“Don't creationists ever wonder about the fact that the paleontologists found ape-like skulls with the 'human leg and foot bones,' rather than the other way around, i.e., human skulls with 'ape leg and foot bones?' . . . Come on, creationists, think about it! Did God hide the human skulls, only leaving behind leg and foot bones belonging to human midgets with misshapen feet, and mix such bones only with the skulls of ape-like creatures with larger cranial capacities than living apes? What a 'kidder' the creationists' God must be.”
