“No earthly bread can meet the deepest longings and cravings of the human person. None of the stuff we clamor to own and keep finally satisfies. We are too gloriously constituted for “stuff” to fill us. This is a fact made graphically clear in the wealthy parts of the world, in our part of the world where we have all the “stuff” anyone could ever want and are still hungry.”

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”

“When we find ourselves empty and hungering too much for the bread that perishes, it likely means we have fallen out of the habit of the “keep coming.”

“All the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.” (Blaise Pascal)
