It seems that, after nineteen centuries of extraordinary glorification, the small host for which so many cathedrals have sprung up, the small host that has rested in millions of breasts and that has found a tabernacle and worshippers even in the desert - it seems that the triumphant host of lourdes and the eucharistic congresses of chicago and carthage remains as unknown, as secret as when it appeared for the first time in a room in jerusalem. light is in the world as in the days of st. john the baptist, and the world does not know it

I don't understand all these breasts right now, and they don't look like breasts. they look like someone's taken a grapefruit half and inserted it under your skin. i mean it's - it doesn't even bear any resemblance to what a natural breast looks like. but we're starting to think that this is what women should like. and young girls are looking at these breasts and thinking, oh, i need to go have my breasts done because they've lost touch with what a real breast actually looks like. i find it fascinating, i find it disturbing.

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

There is an indian story -- at least i heard it as an indian story -- about an englishman who, having been told that the world rested on a platform which rested on the back of an elephant which rested in turn on the back of a turtle, asked (perhaps he was an ethnographer; it is the way they behave), what did the turtle rest on? another turtle. and that turtle?

There are so few people given us to love. i want to tell my daughters this, that each time you fall in love it is important, even at nineteen. especially at nineteen. and if you can, at nineteen, count the people you love on one hand, you will not, at forty, have run out of fingers on the other. there are so few people given us to love and they all stick.

...nameless, unknown to me as you were, i couldn't forget your voice!' 'for how long?' 'o - ever so long. days and days.' 'days and days! only days and days? o, the heart of a man! days and days!' 'but, my dear madam, i had not known you more than a day or two. it was not a full-blown love - it was the merest bud - red, fresh, vivid, but small. it was a colossal passion in embryo. it never returned.

Since christ is the only way to the father, in order to highlight his living and saving presence in the church and the world, the international eucharistic congress will take place in rome, on the occasion of the great jubilee. the year 2000 will be intensely eucharistic: in the sacrament of the eucharist the savior, who took flesh in mary's womb twenty centuries ago, continues to offer himself to humanity as the source of divine life

Faith, then, generically, is confidence in a personal being. specifically, religious faith is confidence in god, in every respect and office in which he reveals himself. as that love of which god is the object is religious love, so that confidence in him as a father, a moral governor, a redeemer, a sanctifier, in all the modes of his manifestation, by which we believe whatever he says because he says it, and commit ourselves and all our interests cheerfully and entirely into his hands, is religious faith.

Whether that expansion is towards the beings around you or flora, fauna, and creatures. love has so many unique yet consistent forms. people like branson - he's an idea guru. guys like allan savory - he's like father earth. allan has literally discovered how to stop desertification and make africa come alive with plant life. in each of its forms, love has an infinite scope of potential expansion, all of which i see leading to growth.
