“Many people don't fear a hell after this life and that's because hell is on this earth, in this life. In this life there are many forms of hell that people walk through, sometimes for a day, sometimes for years, sometimes it doesn't end. The kind of hell that doesn't burn your skin; but burns your soul. The kind of hell that people can't see; but the flames lap at your spirit. Heaven is a place on earth, too! It's where you feel freedom, where you're not afraid. No more chains. And you hear your soul laughing.”
C. JoyBell C.

“We live on a spinning rock suspended in darkness, which evolves around a dying star. Our spinning rock was once ruled and owned by gigantic reptiles, all over! In sea, land, and air, gigantic reptiles roamed! Then a smaller rock fell from the sky and made a hole in the ground, so big that all the giant reptiles died! We live on a spinning rock we got from dragons flying through the air, and on this rock we kill each other over things like religion and money! And on this rock we make friends, we fall in love, we work hard to earn papers so we can buy things. On this rock we have dreams at night that remind us of beautiful places we have never been to, beautiful wonders we have never imagined before... we write stories and we make books, we try to travel to other rocks around us, we wonder if anyone else is out there. Our planet, and our existence as a human species, is bizarre! Our reality is bizarre! What we think is normal, when spelled out, is not normal at all. It's only normal because we are familiar with it. We are residents of a universe that is expanding at a rate of more than 5 billion meters per every few seconds, forming new realities and new substances with each expansion! We will never become familiar with even the very tip of what actually is! So why are any of us afraid of the possibilities of what could be? Why does this frighten us, why does this scare us? When we actually never know anything at all!”

“Opet krenem, vođena zvukom, idem u crkvu, idem iz očajanja, idem da se vidim s Bogom i ljudima, iako mislim da su vernici nevernici, jer ne veruju u ovaj svet, takav kakav jeste, nego u neki drugi, iako mislim da su nevernici pravi vernici, jer veruju u ovaj svet, takav kakav jeste, a ne u neki drugi, ko zna koji i kakav, eto tako mislim, pa nije čudo što je moj hram daleko, daleko, dugo ima da se ide, ali krenula sam, idem polako, idem laka koraka, zvuk me vodi, tek okupana i svetlog pogleda, u kome se reflektuju očaj i radost što se vidi istina, pa šta bude - neka bude.”

“This world is full of wonder, you just have to be willing to seek it out.”

“I by no means advocate a practice of Christianity in isolation; all Christianity even that of the hermit-is a "social Christianity," but that is only as context, not as end. The Church is in society because men are in society, but the end of the Church is the transformation of men, not society. It is a good thing if a society and government profess genuine Christianity, if its institutions are informed by Christianity, because an example is given thereby to the men who are a part of that society; but a Christian society is not an end in itself, but simply a result of the fact that Christian men live in society”
