Henri de Lubac’s Paradoxes
“Cynicism is the reverse side of hypocrisy. It does not give the truth about man.”
“Those who obtain something without trouble, keep it without love” (St. Thomas).
“When we choose the poor, we can always be sure of not going wrong. When we choose an ideology, we can never be sure of not being at least partly wrong. / When we have complied with an ideology, we can never be sure of having take then right course. When we choose the poor, we are always sure, double sure, of having made a good choice. We have chosen like Jesus. We have chosen Jesus.”
“Omnis homo mendax. One can only pray for sincerity.”
“If we do not hope for what cannot be hoped for, we shall not recognize it” (Heraclitus).
“Shall I refuse my brother a drink of water, telling him that I am completely occuped in recovering the meaning of God?”
