Richard Rohr Quotes
WHEN RELIGION CANNOT KNEEL Aristotle Said Democracy Would Only Work In A Culture Already Committed To Virtue. There Is No Communal Myth Left That Teaches Us The Essentially Tragic Nature Of Human Life; There Is No Vision That Proclaims The Primacy Of The Common Good; There Is No Transcendent Image That Makes Human Virtue A Divine Reflection. There Is No One To Reflect And No One To Love And Serve. I Do Not Want To Belong To A Religion That Cannot Kneel. I Do Not Want To Live In A World Where There Is No One To Adore. It Is A Lonely And Labored World If I Am Its Only Center. My Life Is Too Short To Discover Wisdom On My Own, To Identify And Properly Name My Own Self-importance, To Learn How To Love If I Have To Start At Zero.
