William Jay Zitate

A dislike of death is no proof of the want of religion. The instincts of nature shrink from it, for no creature can like its own dissolution. But though death is not desired, the result of it may be, for dying to the Christian is the way to life eternal.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Eine Abneigung gegen den Tod ist kein Beweis für den Mangel an Religion. Die Instinkte der Natur schrecken vor ihr zurück, denn keine Kreatur mag ihre eigene Auflösung mögen. Obwohl der Tod nicht erwünscht ist, kann das Ergebnis davon sein, denn dem Christen zu sterben ist der Weg zum ewigen Leben.

The Way is not a religion: Christianity is the end of religion. 'Religion' means here the division between sacred and secular concerns, other-worldliness, man's reaching toward God in a way which projects his own thoughts.

I saw a photo of a Christian Lacroix couture dress when I was in my teens and decided right then that that's how I wanted to look on my wedding day. In my mind, that's what angels looked like.

What is emitted from the divine, though it be only like the reflection from the fire, still has the divine reality in itself, and one might almost ask what were the fire without glow, the sun without light, or the Creator without the creature?
