"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival."
"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell."
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
"If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world."
And...one on love
"Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained."
