"Spring was muddy; as you crossed the city's outskirts toward the hill, the earth would suck you in, and you entered the homeland like butter. It was always raining, and only now and then would the sun hurriedly emerge like a speeding disc, and during the sunny breaks, the air smelled of roasted mushrooms."

— Marin Sorescu, Three Front Teeth, 1977

Christians should live in the world, but not be filled with it. A ship lives in the water; but if the water gets into the ship, she goes to the bottom. So Christians may live in the world; but if the world gets into them, they sink.

Dwight L. Moody

"The only thing I'd make, if I had the means, would be a wooden bench in the middle of the sea. A grand construction of planed oak, so that the more cowardly seagulls could rest on it during a storm. It's exhausting keep pushing the waves from behind, giving them a kind of madness, better for the wind to settle there from time to time, and, thinking of me, say: 'He never made anything worthwhile in his life apart from this wooden bench, putting the sea all around it.' I've given it a lot of thought, and that is what I'd really like to do. Oh, what a sanctuary, to sit head in hands, in the middle of the soul."

— Marin Sorescu, Jonah, 1968 (first play of The Thirst of the Salt Mountain trilogy, along with The Verger and The Matrix)

"And we know that God is so great, till we expect it to be some great something, and we miss the simple thing. We stumble over simplicity. That's how we miss God, is by stumbling over simplicity. God is so simple until the scholars of these days, and all days, miss Him a million miles, because in their intellect they know that there's nothing like Him so great. But in His revelation, He makes it so simple they go plumb over the top of it and miss it."
