"Heaven is not a place for those who are afraid of hell; itâ€™s a place for those who love God. You can scare people into coming to your church, you can scare people into trying to be good, you can scare people into giving money, you can even scare them into walking down an aisle and praying a certain prayer, but you cannot scare people into loving God. You just canâ€™t do it."

In fact the I is not necessary here, since it is never united directly to consciousness. One can even imagine a pure and self-aware consciousness which thinks of itself as impersonal spontaneity.”
“The relentless pull of love is a thousand times harder to fight than the tides. If youâ€™re lucky, youâ€™ll make it out before you drown. If youâ€™re even luckier, youâ€™re pulled under just long enough to wash away the sorrow. If youâ€™re really lucky, like me, you resurface just in time to find the one you love floating right beside you.”
“Inanimate objects are always correct and cannot, unfortunately, be reproached with anything. I have never observed a chair shift from one foot to another, or a bed rear on its hind legs. And tables, even when they are tired, will not dare to bend their knees. I suspect that objects do this from pedagogical considerations, to reprove us constantly for our instability.”

“The liberal groups spent months raising money so they could take down anyone President Bush nominated. But they have not been able to touch judge Roberts.”
