Love is as simple as the absence of self- given to another. God, when invited, fills the void of any unrequited love hence loving is how one is drawn closer to God no matter its most horrific repercussions.

More quotes by Criss Jami
A good work ethic is not so much a concern for hard work but rather one for responsibility. There have been a great many men and women who have in fact used work or hustle or selfish ambition as an escape from real responsibility, an escape from purpose. In matters such as these, the hard worker is just as dysfunctional as the sloth.

I cannot encourage any fabrication even for the sake of making people feel good. If I were to fabricate consciously and knowingly, I would not only be ordaining myself their enemy, but also ordaining myself God's enemy.

A distaste for the new is not always fear of the unknown, but sometimes ambition. Some people don't like the new way simply because they never got a chance to master the old way.

A fear of weakness only strengthens weakness.

Love is without a doubt the laziest theory for the meaning of life, but when it actually comes a time to do it we find just enough energy to over-complicate life again. Any devil can love, whom he himself sees as, a good person who has treated him well, but to love also the polar opposite is what separates love from fickle emotions.
Criss Jami
If a man cannot understand the beauty of life, it is probably because life never understood the beauty in him.

The ones who constantly make us laugh are the hardest of friends to know - for comedians are the caricatures among us.

God loves atheists. The former ones make the most compelling theists because they're so empirically familiar with how atheists think.
Criss Jami
When it comes to judging individuals, I do not like remarks such as 'too good to be true.' They speak as though one is rewarding the nature of evil. Yet, ironically, we still wonder where all the good people have gone.

Armed neutrality makes it much easier to detect hypocrisy.
Criss Jami
We are to love God most importantly so that we can grow to love people as he loved us, not so that we can feel more divine and worthy than the worldly.
