No mistake or crime is more horrible to God than those committed by power. Why? Because what is official is impersonal, and being impersonal is the greatest insult that can be paid to a person.
Søren Kierkegaard (qtd. in Jacques Ellul, Anarchy and Christianity)
Simon Critchley, Things Merely Are: Philosophy in the Poetry of Wallace Stevens
“Sometimes a person will believe (without being conscious of this) that she and God are alone together in the world and this will carry her through the loneliness of her life.”
— Fanny Howe, “Kristeva and Me”
We pray: Thy will be done.
And yet he has no will.
He is eternal stillness.
Angelus Silesius
I had grasped God’s garment in the void
but my hand slipped
on the rich silk of it.
… for though I claw at empty air and feel
nothing, no embrace,
I have not plummeted.
