He had a theory, Walt did, that the religious life, and all the agony that goes with it, is just something God sics on people who have the gall to accuse Him of having created an ugly world.

The thing he was afraid of, he was afraid somebody'd say something smarter than he had.

I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least,
Nor do I understand who there can be more wonderful than myself.

Suffer to gain is better than gaining to suffer. In Christ you have to suffer to gain, but with the devil you have to gain to suffer. Christ is always the best.

To be religious is to have a life that flows with the presence of the extraordinary.

“The cover of every book has a tittle on it, indicating what the story is all about. Whether a love story or something. Normally people get bored with the writer when the story has nothing to do with the title and especially with no meaning, they refuse to purchase other books of him/her because of just that mistake. Don't let people read you and see God has something different. Don't pretend to be someone you are not. Count the cost if your soul should be lost.”
