“There are 6 reasons that a person does anything: Love, faith, greed, boredom, fear… revenge.”

“Human history is not the product of the wise direction of human reason, but is shaped by the forces of emotion—our dreams, our pride, our greed, our fears, and our desire for revenge.”

“If a person fears God, she has no reason to fear anything else.”

“Greedhas no satiation point, since its consummation does not fill the inner emptiness, boredom, loneliness, and depression it is meant to overcome.”

“How wonderful to go beyond wanting and fearing in your relationships. Love does not want or fear anything.”

“Let but faithful labourers be found, who will prove faithful to God, and there is no reason to fear that God will not prove faithful to them.”

“The sincerity of love that is willing to sacrifice is the essence of noble love. Love that does not think of itself. Love that is willing to do anything for the happiness of the person it loves.”

“Boredom is fear's patience. Fear doesn't want to exaggerate.”

“For the amoral herd that fears boredom above all else, everything becomes entertainment. Sex and sport, politics and the arts are transformed into entertainment. … Nothing is immune from the demand that boredom be relieved (but without personal involvement, for mass society is a spectator society).”

“The only angels we need invoke are those of our better nature: reason, honesty, and love. The only demons we must fear are those that lurk inside every human mind: ignorance, hatred, greed, and, which is surely the devil's masterpiece.”
