If the world is not now sick of Hate we may be sure it never will be; so whatever may happen to the world let us remember that the individual is still left, to carry on the tasks of Love, to do good even in an evil world.
It is more passion and ever more that we need if we are to undo the work of Hate, if we are to add to the gaiety and splendour of life, to the sum of human achievement, to the aspiration of human ecstasy.

The things that fill men and women with beauty and exhilaration, and spur them to actions beyond themselves, are the things that are now needed.

The entire intrinsic purification of the soul, it was held by the great Spanish Jesuit theologian, Suarez, takes place at the moment when, provided the soul is of good disposition, it sees God; he meant after death, but for us the saying is symbolic of the living truth.

It is only in the passion of facing the naked beauty of the world and its naked truth that we can win intrinsic purity.

Not all, indeed, who look upon the face of God can live.
It is not well that they should live.
