Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.

God's truth judges created things out of love, and Satan's truth judges them out of envy and hatred.

A god who let us prove his existence would be an idol.

The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.

I've always had a profound conviction that great music is about joy, even in the face of tragedy.
