You cannot be in love with love.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Like white light refracted through a prism and split into many colors, God's eternal love-nature, expressed through the prism of time, becomes God's multicolored love story. History is His story.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Grey is the devil's favorite color.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Now I see that God prefers to work through intermediaries - Mary and the saints. . . He wants us to pray through Mary and not only directly.
Peter Kreeft
Image
If you want to get wet, go out to where it is raining If you want to be a saint, find one and hang out with him.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Subtract miracles from Islam, Buddhism, Confucianism, or Toaism, and you have essentially the same religion left. Subtract miracles from Christianity, and you have nothing but the cliches and platitudes most American Christians get weekly (and weakly) from their pulpits.
Peter Kreeft

The big, blazing truth about man is that he has a heaven-sized hole in his heart, and nothing else can fill it. We pass our lives trying to fill the Grand Canyon with marbles. As Augustine said: Thou hast made us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Humility is the marriage bond of Heaven. Pride is the frigidity of Hell.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Remembering the facts of death and Heaven gives us an even more pressing reason to learn to pray: We do not have an infinite amount of time. We are one day nearer Home today than we ever were before. I guarantee you that after you die you will not say 'I spent too much time praying I wish I had watched more TV instead.'
Peter Kreeft

Great saints have often been made out of great sinners, but not one was ever made out of a wimp.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Control language and you control thought control thought and you control action control action and you control the world.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Our culture has filled our heads but emptied our hearts, stuffed our wallets but starved our wonder. It has fed our thirst for facts but not for meaning or mystery. It produces nice people, not heroes.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Pride looks down, and no one can see God but by looking up.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Everything smaller than Heaven bores us because only Heaven is bigger than our hearts.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Christ transforms the meaning and value of suffering from something to be feared or at best endured into something redemptive [and transformative].
Peter Kreeft
Image
We sinned for no reason but an incomprehensible lack of love, and He saved us for no reason but an incomprehensible excess of love.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The only reason you are not yet a saint is because you do not wholly want to be one.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Indifference is more truly the opposite of love than hate is, for we can both love and hate the same person at the same time, but we cannot both love and be indifferent to the same person at the same time.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Life is always fatal. No one gets out of it alive
Peter Kreeft

Trying to fill the God-sized hole in our hearts with things other than God is like trying to fill the Grand Canyon with marbles.
