Faith

You don't play villains like they are villains. You play them like they believe in what they are doing.

Believe in yourself and have faith in what you want to do.

Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.

For the dead and the living, we must bear witness.

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

I said to the almond tree, 'Sister, speak to me of God.' And the almond tree blossomed.

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.

I carry a torch in one hand and a bucket of water in the other: with these things I am going to set fire to Heaven and put out the flames of Hell, so that voyagers to God can rip the veils and see the real goal.

O my Lord, if I worship You from fear of Hell, burn me in Hell. If I worship You from hope of Paradise, bar me from its gates. But if I worship You for Yourself alone, grant me then the beauty of Your Face.

Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.

God is the meeting of the line with an infinite number of complements.

God is the tangential point between zero and infinity.

Others believe as I do, but their beliefs do not interest me, just as mine may not interest them.

Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.

Mysticism is the ecstasy of the consciousness of earth in the consciousness of God.

Life is every where full of gods.

Man is what he believes.

All have their worth and each is beautiful in the sight of God.

America is not slick and Steve McQueen or the World Series, it's chapel windows with the sun coming through, the Mexican pea-blue glimmering in the concrete half-light. It is the way things should be.

I am afraid that I will be thrown out of heaven. I don’t deserve it all.
