"By hope we desire, and with steadfast trust await from God, eternal life and the graces to merit it" (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1843).

"He rides the white horse, and bears the Truth-shining Sword of Understanding, bearing down all before Him" (Love of the God-Man, 687).

"An important disputed question concerns the authoritative status of church moral teaching. It is commonly accepted that some moral teachings of the Church do have dogmatic status, such as the law of love and the affirmation of the inalienable dignity of the human person. But what about more specific moral teachings like the Church's prohibition of artificial birth control or its just-war teaching?" (By What Authority?, 102).

"Thus, far from being identical to 'sin,' sexual communion is a human right, a humanizing obligation, and a living instrument of our ultimate and pleasurable sacrifice or Translation beyond human psycho-physical structures and human limits of knowledge" (Love of the Two-Armed Form, 82).

"Always Participate In That Sacred Obligation With Great Energy" (Right Life Is Free Participation In Unlimited Radiance, 240).

"I saw that we are, at any moment, always and already free. I knew that I was not lacking anything I needed yet to find, nor had I ever been without such a thing. The problem was the seeking itself, which created and enforced contradiction, conflict, and absence within. Then the idea arose that I am always already free" (The Bodily Location of Happiness, 93-94).

"You should be there at the Fire, throwing in everything to cancel the effectiveness of the dark sign, to exist in Light, and to pass Beyond all limitations. To do that is your business" (Ishta, 149).

"But our true and right and ultimate Diet is in the moment to moment, unobstructed whole bodily Feeling-Communion with the All-Pervading Force of Life -- enacted via the breath cycle" (The Enlightenment of the Whole Body, 290).

"In all action the motive power is selfishness. Everything is hidden by ourselves" (The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, Vol. 1, 477).

"Just as it is impossible to cut the sky in two with a knife, when the space-like quality of egolessness is realized, it is no longer possible to make a separation between 'I' and 'other,' and there arises an attitude of wanting to protect others as oneself and of taking them as one's own" (The Way of the Bodhisattva, 183).

"O Madman, crowned with the crescent moon, O Lord Supreme!" (Natchintanai, 169).

"All great ones had their teachers" (Guru Tattva, 13).
