God is the perfect poet.
~quote about Poetry by Robert Browning
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the answer.
~quotes on Self-Discovery by Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

~quotes on Religion by John Adams, letter to Thomas Jefferson, 20 June 1815
The hypocrite's crime is that he bears false witness against himself. What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.
~sayings on Hypocrisy by Hannah Arendt, On Revolution, 1963

Crown thy good into temptation but deliver us from the twilight's last gleaming. Amen and Awomen.
