More From Jacques Maritain

But though every created thing is, in this sense, a mystery, the word mystery cannot be applied to moral truth, any more than obscurity can be applied to light. ... mystery is the antagonist of truth. it is a fog of human invention, that obscures truth, and represents it in distortion. truth never envelops itself in mystery, and the mystery in which it is at any time enveloped is the work of its antagonist, and never of itself.

It was as if personality itself had a 'face'. this non-physical face of personality seemed to be the real key to personality change. it remained scarred, distorted, 'ugly' or inferior the person himself acted out this role in his behaviour regardless of the changes in physical appearance. if this 'face of personality' could be reconstructed, if old emotional scars could be removed, then the person himself changed, even without facial plastic surgery.

The answer is never the answer. what's really interesting is the mystery. if you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. i've never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have. so they stop thinking. but the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. the need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.

There is in the soul a something in which god dwells, and there is in the soul a something in which the soul dwells in god.

Each state of the human mind has some parable in the physical creation by which it is shadowed forth; nor is it only artists and poets, but even the most abstract thinkers that have drawn from this source. lively activity we name fire; time is a stream that rolls on, sweeping all before it; eternity is a circle; a mystery is hid in midnight gloom, and truth dwells in the sun. nay, i begin to believe that even the future destiny of the human race is prefigured in the dark oracular utterances of bodily creation.

Motherhood involves a special communion with the mystery of life, as it develops in the mother's womb. the mother is filled with wonder at this mystery of life, and 'understands' with unique intuition what is happening inside her. in the light of the 'beginning', the mother accepts and loves as a person the child she is carrying in her womb. this unique contact with the new human being developing within her gives rise to an attitude towards human beings - not only towards her own child, but every human being - which profoundly marks the woman's personality.

Normal men retain their childish longing for a woman to mother them. at adolescence a new desire is added. they want a girl to allure them. when you put these two together, you have the typical male yearning that wonder woman satisfies.

When i was a child i asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in germany and she was very open-minded - 'it's like hair color. it's nothing. some people are blond and some people have dark hair. it's not a subject.' this was a very healthy attitude.
