QUOTATION: Living without Belief

To surrender who you are and to live without belief is more terrible than dying – even more terrible than dying young.

--St. Joan of Arc

QUOTATION: Sexual Orientation

The human person, made in the image and likeness of God, can hardly be adequately described by a reductionist reference to his or her sexual orientation. Every one living on the face of the earth has personal problems and difficulties, but challenges to growth, strengths, talents and gifts as well. Today, the Church provides a badly needed context for the care of the human person when she refuses to consider the person as a “heterosexual” or a “homosexual” and insists that every person has a fundamental Identity: the creature of God, and by grace, his child and heir to eternal life.

--Pope John Paul II

QUOTATION: Our True Selves

The more we get what we now call "ourselves" out of the way and let Him take us over, the more truly ourselves we become.

--C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

QUOTATION: What we love

The things that we love tell us what we are.

--St. Thomas Aquinas
