Seraphim Rose

“The more you are in suffering and difficulties and are “desperate” for God, the more He is going to come to your aid, reveal Who He is and show you the way to get out. This is why it is not spectacular things like miracles that we should look for. We know from the story of St. Nicetas related earlier that this is the worst possible approach and leads to deception. The right approach is found in the heart which tries to humble itself and simply knows that it is suffering, and that there somehow exists a higher truth which not only can help this suffering, but can bring it into a totally different dimension. This passing from suffering to transcendent reality reflects the life of Christ, Who went to His suffering on the Cross, endured the most horrible and shameful type of death, and then, totally to the consternation of His own disciples, rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, sent His Holy Spirit and began the whole history of His Church.”
― Fr. Seraphim Rose, God's Revelation to the Human Heart

M.W. Craven

“lettuce he’d bought in a moment of ill-advised optimism. A bit of cheese so mouldy it was a short evolutionary jump away from developing lungs.”
― M.W. Craven, Cut Short

Franz Kafka

“If you can laugh into the telephone, you must be a very accomplished telephonist. The very thought of the telephone makes me forget laughter.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Felice

Jane Austen

“Far be it from me, my dear sister, to depreciate such pleasures. They would doubtless be congenial with the generality of female minds. But I confess they would have no charms for me. I should infinitely prefer a book. - Mary”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
