There is a different kind of prayer without ceasing; it is longing. Whatever you may be doing, if you long for the day of everlasting rest, do not cease praying. If you do not wish to cease praying, then do not cease your longing. Your persistent longing is your persistent voice. When love grows cold, the heart grows silent. Burning love is the outcry of the heart! If you are filled with longing all the time, you will keep crying out, and if your love perseveres, your cry will be heard without fail.
—Saint Augustine
Those who believe that they believe in God,
but without passion in their hearts, without anguish in mind,
without uncertainty, without doubt,
without an element of despair even in their consolation,
believe only in the God idea, not in God Himself.
—Miguel de Unamuno
It is in our lives and not our words that our religion must be read.
—Thomas Jefferson
To the ignorant, nothing is profound.
—Mervyn Peake, Gormengast
