"There's a tendency for people in New York to think the world exists between the East and the Hudson Rivers, and I don't share that opinion.

“What else does anxiety about the future bring you but sorrow upon sorrow?”
“Every thread of creation is held in position by still other strands of things living. In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline of smoldering cities so gray and so vulgar, as not to be satisfied with their own negativity, but needing to touch all the living as well.”

“Now is the hour we should humbly prostrate ourselves before God, willing to be convicted afresh of our sins by the Holy Spirit.”
