“Faith is only a word, embroidered.”

“Those who translate Pistis by "Faith," are utterly wrong. The word "faith" as grace or something to be believed in through unreasoned or blind faith, is a word that dates only since Christianity.”

“Over the years I felt call to motherland that sometimes I even wanted to cry because of nostalgia. You will not believe but my present flat is a real Ukrainian house. I collect embroidered towels and embroidered shirts. More and more often I recollect the words of Nina Matvienko, whom I respect a lot: "Where your navel is dug there you will always feel a call."”

“Unlimited trust should only be placed in the real Word of the Revelation that we encounter in the faith transmitted by the Church.”

“Is faith so cheap, my child? Faith is the last word. If one has faith, the goal is practically reached.”

“Cast thy burden on the Lord,
Only lean upon His word;
Thou wilt soon have cause to bless
His unchanging faithfulness.”

“Desire backed by faith knows no such word as impossible.”

“Blind faith is just another word for slavery.”

“The word I think of is precarious. I am struck by how precarious it all is. How the things that hold us are only as strong as the faith we have in them.”

“Faith looks to the word and the promise; that is, to the truth. But hope looks to that which the word has promised, to the gift.”
