"Every service is a structure of acts and words through which we rceive a sacrament, or repent, or supplicate, or adore. And it enables us to do these things best--if you like, it 'works' best--when, through long familiarity, we don't have to think about it. As long as you notice, and have to count, the steps, you are not yet dancing but only learning to dance."
"Christianity if false is not important. If Christianity is true however it is of infinite importance. What it cannot be is moderately important."

If it is consistent with hurting us, then He may hurt us after death is unendurably as before it."
"Remember, we Christians think man lives for ever. Therefore, what really matters is those little marks or twists on the central, inside part of the soul which are going to turn it, in the long run, into a heavenly or a hellish creature."
"Paganism is infectious, more infectious than diphtheria or piety."
"Today's zealots are mostly those pretending to be anti-religious."

"Books. It's always easier to tell people that a character is funny rather than attempt to hit the punchline of a joke that character would've said. But if we all simply told, books would cease to exist. And so would empathy. And feeling."
"Maybe forgiveness means you stop keeping tabs on those people. Wounds can't heal if you keep touching them."
"For a storyteller, an open ending leaves much room for imagination; for the inquisitive reader, however, it is a source of great anxiety."
"If difficult times teach us the most important lessons, we should then learn to read difficult books."
"I'm not an insomniac. It's just that my mind is in the best position to catch the weight of all hovering possibilities the moment I lie down."
