• In my opinion the separation of the c- and ac-stars is the most important advancement in stellar classification since the trials by Vogel and Secchi ...

• No pienses que debes avanzar en tu oración. Si lo haces, sólo descubrirás que has puesto el freno en lugar de acelerar. Todo progreso real en las cosas espirituales llega suavemente, imperceptiblemente, y es obra de Dios. Nuestros toscos esfuerzos lo estropean. Conócete a ti mismo como el alma infantil, limitada y dependiente que eres. Recuerda que el único crecimiento que importa ocurre sin nuestro conocimiento y que tratar de esforzarnos es peligroso y tonto. Piensa en la Bondad Infinita, nunca en tu propio estado.

  Evelyn Underhill
