The big, blazing, terrible truth about man is that he has a heaven-sized hole in his heart, and nothing else can fill it. We pass our lives trying to fill the Grand Canyon with marbles.

QUOTATION: God

God does not fit in an occupied heart.

--St. John of the Cross

QUOTATION: God

To examine whether your heart please Him is not necessary, but rather whether His heart pleases you.

--St. Francis de Sales, Consoling Thoughts

QUOTATION: The Heart

The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it.

--C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

QUOTATION: Judgement of Religion

Is not this the error the common and fatal error, of the world, to think itself a judge of religious truth without preparation of heart?

--Bl. John Henry Newman, Oxford University Sermons
