“In every saint there lurks an arrant knave, the marrow of all holyness being absolute hellishness. That is why our Saviours are of no awail, their remedies being too strong for common man, who is the puppet of his fleshly appetite and not a sinner.”

“The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.”

“One is a saint or one is not; every man can choose the career that suits him; but to be saint and sinner at the same time requires singular ingenuity.”

“Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.”

“Every saint has a past. Every sinner has a future.”

“A saint is a sinner who loves; it's that simple!”

“We are only puppets, our strings are being pulled by unknown forces.”

“Each sinner transformed into a saint is a new token of a redeeming power among men. That token declares to observers, not that there is a King in heaven, not that there is a "Father of Lights," but that there is a Saviour. And this is the testimony that the world especially needs.”

“Who are the best sinners between corporeal and spiritual beings?”

“Many of the insights of the saint stem from his experience as a sinner.”
