• Anhelamos el paraíso. Este anhelo es la fuente del hambre y la insatisfacción que marcan nuestras vidas... Este anhelo hace que nuestros amores y amistades sean posibles, y tan insatisfactorios. El hambre es de... nada menos que la comunión perfecta con... aquel en quien se reúnen todos los fragmentos de nuestra existencia dispersa... no debemos sofocar este anhelo. Es una santa insatisfacción. Esa insatisfacción no es una enfermedad que hay que curar, sino la semilla de una promesa que hay que cumplir... La única muerte que hay que temer es la muerte de conformarse con algo menos.

• Disguise is central to God's way of dealing with us human beings. Not because God is playing games with us but because the God who is beyond our knowing makes himself known in the disguise of what we can know. The Christian word for this is revelation, and the ultimate revelation came by incarnation. ... God is the master of disguises, in order that we might see.

• El optimismo es una cuestión de óptica, de ver lo que quieres ver y no ver lo que no quieres ver. La esperanza, en cambio, es una virtud cristiana. Es el reconocimiento sin pestañear de todo lo que milita contra la esperanza, y el rechazo implacable a la desesperación. No tenemos derecho a desesperar y, por último, no tenemos motivos para hacerlo.

• Consumerism is, quite precisely, the consuming of life by the things consumed. It is living in a manner that is measured by having rather than being... and consumerism is hardly the sin of the rich. The poor, driven by discontent and envy, may be as consumed by what they do not have as the rich are consumed by what they do have. The question is not, certainly not most importantly, a question about economics. It is first and foremost a cultural and moral problem requiring a cultural and moral remedy.

• In legal parlance, that is called 'the rational person test,' ... That's where somebody else says, 'Even though we have no idea what this person would want in this circumstance in which they cannot themselves tell us what they want, a 'rational' person - meaning, myself - in that circumstance would want to die.' So you move very quickly from so-called voluntary euthanasia to involuntary euthanasia. These legal and medical developments are not simply hypothetical They're in the courts right now.
