More From Basil Hume

Christ be with me, christ within me, christ behind me, christ before me, christ beside me, christ to win me, christ to comfort me and restore me, christ beneath me, christ above me, christ in quiet, christ in danger, christ in hearts of all that love me, christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
Faith Christian Jesus
When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.

Husbands are not christ. but they are called to be like him. and the specific point of likeness is the husband's readiness to suffer for his wife's good without threatening or abusing her. this includes suffering to protect her from any outside forces that would harm her, as well as suffering disappointments of abuses even from her. this kind of love is possible because christ died for both husband and wife. their sins are forgiven. neither needs to make the other suffer for sins. christ has borne that suffering. now as two sinful and forgiven people we can return good for evil.

And now i am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolations that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything; that only a fool can become something. yes, sir, an intelligent nineteenth-century man must be, is morally bound to be, an essentially characterless creature; and a man of character, a man of action - an essentially limited creature. this is my conviction at the age of forty. i am forty now, and forty years - why, it is all of a lifetime, it is the deepest of old age. living past forty is indecent, vulgar, immoral!

To know the cross is not merely to know our own sufferings. for the cross is the sign of salvation, and no man is saved by his own sufferings. to know the cross is to know that we are saved by the sufferings of christ; more, it is to know the love of christ who underwent suffering and death in order to save us. it is, then, to know christ.

The problem of good and evil is not the problem of good and evil, but only the problem of evil. in opposition to good there are evil characters, but there are no good characters in opposition to evil. evil is arguable, but good is not. therefore the devil always wins the argument.

It was the first and most striking characteristic of socrates never to become heated in discourse, never to utter an injurious or insulting word -- on the contrary, he persistently bore insult from others and thus put an end to the fray.
Insulting Firsts Characteristics
Part of the core of my system, is a way of trying to give the characters more control. if i'm practicing making up what the characters will do, it's never good. in fact, when i catch myself doing that, i try to get rid of that section, and try and let them start making the decisions.

Have fun, entertain yourself with your work, make yourself laugh and cry with your own stories, make yourself shiver in suspense along with your characters. if you can do that, then you will most likely find a large audience; but even if a large audience is never found, you'll have a happy life.

Self esteem::"it is very easy in the world to live by the opinion of the world. it is very easy in solitude to be self-centered. but the finished man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. i knew a man of simple habits and earnest character who never put out his hands nor opened his lips to court the public, and having survived several rotten reputations of younger men, honor came at last and sat down with him upon his private bench from which he had never stirred."
