More quotes by Criss Jami
We tend to think that refusing to exalt Christ is staying true to our self-will and personal freedom when really we are condemning ourselves. Sure, we can pretend to stay true to ourselves, but if you want to talk about reality, all of that is completely trivial if this life is an island and He's the only pilot with a plane and a flight plan.

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.
Criss Jami
It is better to doubt that a concept is stupidly flying under your head than profoundly flying over your head.
Criss Jami
You can't let the truth bring out the worst and let it get the best of you.
Criss Jami
When you're appeasing too much, you might be egotistically over-estimating everyone's need for your approval.
Criss Jami
Seeing the glass as half empty is more positive than seeing it as half full. Through such a lens the only choice is to pour more. That is righteous pessimism
Criss Jami
Love is one of those topics that plenty of people try to write about but not enough try to do.
Criss Jami
If a man cannot understand the beauty of life, it is probably because life never understood the beauty in him.
Criss Jami
Don't change your mind just because people are offended change your mind if you're wrong.
Criss Jami
It's not about whether or not someone is a bigot, but whether or not the argument which that someone is arguing is worth being a bigot about.
Criss Jami
I never feel unsafe except for when the majority is on my side.
Criss Jami
I am not here to merely argue about the perplexities regarding theism or philosophy, but to be a light to the world and to reach out to those who long to be a part of that light.
Criss Jami
